Abstract
A superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) array (SQA) includes at least one row each including SQUIDs. The SQUIDs in each row are connected in parallel and include junctions, such as Josephson junctions, shared among the SQUIDs. The SQUIDs have respective inductance parameters and the junctions have respective critical currents. The respective inductance parameters of the SQUIDs and respective critical currents of the junctions both vary in a predetermined pattern across the row. This improves performance including improved linearity and improved sensitivity.
