Publisher's Synopsis
Quantum measuring instruments, largely based on the Josephson effect and the quantum Hall effect, are indispensable in physical research because of their extremely high precision. They are also commonly used in engineering and industry.
This book gives a complete account of the principles and applications of quantum instruments and thus sets forth the state of the art in electrical metrology.
Comparisons with the measuring instruments of classical physics plus numerous illustrations and tables make it easy to get started in this field.
The book is aimed at students of electrical engineering and physics, as well as engineers and physicists in research establishments and industrial metrology laboratories.
