US Patent 10586911 Gradiometric parallel superconducting quantum interface device

Techniques regarding parallel gradiometric SQUIDs and the manufacturing thereof are provided. For example, one or more embodiments described herein can comprise an apparatus, which can comprise a first pattern of superconducting material located on a substrate. Also, the apparatus can comprise a second pattern of superconducting material that can extend across the first pattern of superconducting material at a position. Further, the apparatus can comprise a Josephson junction located at the position, which can comprise an insulating barrier that can connect the first pattern of superconductor material and the second pattern of superconductor material.
