TN2953-P SQUID Practicum Webpage¶
On this webpage, you will find information about the 2nd year undergraduate SQUID practicum (experimental lab) hosted by the Quantum Nanoscience (http://qn.tudelft.nl) department, run by the group of Prof. Gary Steele (http://steelelab.tudelft.nl).
In this practicum, you will perform electrical measurements on a Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID, pictured above). You will observe the zero-resistance state of a superconductor, the transition from superconducting to normal-metal behavior, and the consequences of the quantum interference of electron wavefunctions in the device.
