  • Abstract
    The quantization of magnetic flux in a superconducting circuit can serve for the measurement of electrical quantities in the same way that we use the wavelength of light to measure length. We report a demonstration of this function in the measurement of attenuation ratio at a frequency of 30 MHz.
