Abstract
An array of superconductive quantum detectors (SQD) with current biased SQUID flowing in one direction from fifty percent of the detectors and flowing in the opposite direction for the other fifty percent. The SQD in one embodiment has a serpentine pattern loop and minimal cross-sectional area to increase kinetic induction. A directly connected SQUID is within the loop of one embodiment and exterior of the loop in another embodiment. Methods of optimizing the signal of the array and different types of Josephson Junctions are also disclosed.
