Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure generally pertain to a magnetic field sensor with flex coupling structures. Aspects of the present disclosure are more specifically directed toward Nanoscale Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices (nanoSQUIDs) with very low white flux noise characteristics can be fashioned into very sensitive magnetic field sensors by using external structures to increase the amount of flux that passes through the nanoSQUID aperture. One such structure is a superconducting coupling loop that shares part of a circuit with the nanoSQUID, and couples flux into the nanoSQUID primarily through kinetic inductance rather than geometric inductance.
