Shielding for superconducting devices

Abstract

Techniques regarding shielding one or more superconducting devices are provided. For example, one or more embodiments described herein can comprise an apparatus, which can comprise a multi-layer enclosure that shields a superconducting device from a magnetic field and radiation. Further, the multi-layer enclosure can comprise a superconducting material layer that can have a thickness that inhibits a penetration of the multi-layer enclosure by the magnetic field. The multi-layer enclosure can also comprise a metal layer adjacent to the superconducting material layer. The metal layer can have a high thermal conductivity that achieves thermalization with the superconducting material layer. Moreover, the multi-layer enclosure can comprise a radiation shield layer adjacent to the superconducting material layer.
