28. Flux-noise has been measured for devices at low temperature in a manner where vortices are probably trapped in the superconducting film (Ref. 27). In high-(formula presented) devices, when vortices were eliminated through careful film design and low-field cooling, flux noise was greatly reduced (Ref. 28). This noise reduction has yet to be demonstrated for low-(formula presented) devices.
