Capacitance in a radio-frequency-SQUID magnetometer

Jason F. Ralph, Terrence D. Clark, Robert J. Prance +2 more

We use a discrete-field model for the quantum evolution of distributed superconducting circuits to calculate the effective capacitance for a radio-frequency-SQUID magnetometer: a large-capacitance superconducting ring containing an ultra-small-capacitance weak link. We demonstrate that the self-capacitance of the weak link can dominate the behaviour of the circuit.

Flux and voltage periodic behaviour in a superconducting weak-link ring

Jason F. Ralph, Terrence D. Clark, J. Diggins +3 more

Starting with a simple Lagrangian for the electromagnetic field with broken gauge symmetry, we derive an effective circuit Hamiltonian for a superconducting weak-link ring. The energy eigenstates of this Hamiltonian exhibit sensitivity to both external magnetic flux and an applied Faraday law voltage. We show that the flux periodicity of the rf SQUID ring, and the voltage periodic behaviour found in ultra-small-capacitance weak-link rings, can be seen as limiting cases of a more general phenomenon.
