Liquid hydrogen can not only be used as a cooling medium for superconducting dc cables but can also be used as a clean energy source for delivery, realizing highly efficient transmission of energy. Self-shielding superconducting dc cables (SSDCCs) have the advantages of no magnetic leakage and small critical current attenuation. This article presents a study of the application of the SSDCC in a liquid hydrogen energy pipeline. The critical current, magnetic field, and ripple loss of the cables at the temperature of liquid hydrogen are investigated by the T-A formulation. The findings indicate that the SSDCC can make the liquid hydrogen energy pipeline achieve more efficient transmission, which provides a novel perspective for the research of liquid hydrogen energy pipelines.","PeriodicalId":13104,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity","volume":"35 3","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143621688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In some applications, alternating current (AC) is applied to superconducting magnets, such as in superconducting synchronous electrical machinery and superconducting transformers. Quench detection in superconducting magnets is a critical prerequisite for ensuring their safe operation. However, some conventional quench detection methods commonly used for direct current (DC) superconducting magnets face limitations when applied to those subjected to AC. In this article, we investigate quench-induced current variation characteristics in parallel co-wound superconducting magnets excited with AC current and propose a quench detection method based on current variation. We conducted circuit derivation and artificial quench experiments to validate our approach. Both derivation and experimental results demonstrate that our quench detection method can detect quench with high sensitivity and reliability. This work has potential applications in AC superconducting magnets and may contribute to reducing the risk of quench-induced damage in such systems.","PeriodicalId":13104,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity","volume":"35 5","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143688124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The camera system combines a scanning optics together with a 128-pixel TES array and aims for security gate operations with a standoff detection distance of up to 25 m. The developed frequency-domain µMUX is used to read out all feed-horn-coupled TESs based on aluminum thermistors, with noise limited by intrinsic TES noise.

Superconducting circuit, as one of the most promising technologies in the post-Moore era, offers ultrahigh-speed computation and ultralow power consumption. Superconducting circuits are driven by pulses, which enables direct execution of pulse-based neuromorphic computing. Consequently, superconducting circuits hold the potential to facilitate higher efficiency and larger scale neuromorphic chips. However, existing efforts neglect the limitations and constraints of superconducting circuits, such as the extra overhead of pulse-based logic, the lack of superconducting memory, and low integration. Hence, their work cannot be utilized in fabricating real superconducting neuromorphic chips. This article introduces superconducting spiking neural network (SSNN), which aims to enable full neuromorphic computing on superconducting circuits. The design of SSNN addresses key issues including a superconducting circuit-based neuron model, weight processing methods suitable for superconducting pulses, and superconducting neuromorphic on-chip networks. SSNN enables complete neuromorphic computing on superconducting circuits. We validate the feasibility and accuracy of SSNN using a standard cell library of superconducting circuits and successfully fabricate the world's first superconducting neuromorphic chip.
