General Research Interests
Our central theme is the theory, development and applications
of Superconducting QUantum Interference Devices (SQUIDs) made
from low-transition temperature superconductors. These projects
include ultralow-frequency nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the use of SQUIDs to measure
the quantum state of superconducting flux qubits (quantum bits),
the development of the "microstrip SQUID amplifier" as a near-quantum-limited
detector at frequencies in the 0.5-1 GHz frequency range, the
development of micrometer-sized SQUIDs to investigate the magnetic
properties of single molecules and an investigation of low-frequency
noise in SQUIDs.
