(color online) (a) DC-SQUID Vout under different values of Isq and Ibias. (b) Isw(ϕsq) curve of the DC-SQUID. Here, ϕsq is obtained through Isq divided by period ΔIsq = 2968 μA. Isw is normalized to the critical current of DC-SQUID 2I0 = 37.0 μA. (c) IV curves of DC-SQUID under flux modulation of ϕsq. (d) IV curves of DC-SQUID at ϕsq = 0.157 and ϕsq = 0.566.
