Each fluxon carries an integer number of magnetic flux quanta.
The magnetic flux quantum may be measured with great precision by exploiting the Josephson effect.
Consequently the area of the quantized voltage pulses that carry single magnetic flux quanta is constant.
The flux quantum plays a very important role in superconductivity.
The earth magnetic field is very small (about 50 μT), but it generates one flux quantum in an area of 6 by 6 μm.
So, the flux quantum is very small.
(44) the flux quantum is determined with the high precision as given in Eq.
Rapid single flux quantum digital electronics technology is a good example of cryotronics, as it is based on superconductors.
Although a second vortex appears, this does not violate the conservation of the single flux quantum.
There a winding of the phase by creates a vortex which carries one flux quantum.
