Abstract

We describe recent progress in developing a superfluid helium analog of the superconducting dc-SQUID. The devices tested thus far are sensitive detectors of rotation as well as useful probes for studies of superfluidity. The key ingredients of the superfluid helium quantum interference device (SHeQUID) involve commercially available technology and modest cryogenic facilities.
