EXPERIMENTS AT LIQUID HELIUM TEMPERATURES ON MACROSCOPIC QUANTUM EFFECTS AND GENERAL RELATIVITY.

Abstract

A review is presented of research in the following three areas: (1) preliminary research on the design of a low temperature gyro experiment to check the general theory of relativity by an experiment proposed by L. I. Schiff; (2) quantized flux in superconductors which is found to be in integral units of hc/2e insteady of hc/e; and (3) the scattering of light from He II to see quantized vortices. During this investigation, a superconducting circuit was developed capable in principle of measuring 10 to the -11th power gauss, and the idea of a truly zero magnetic field region was conceived, made possible by the fact of flux quantization in superconductors.
