Invention of DC SQUID
The DC SQUID was invented in 1964 by Robert Jaklevic, John J. Lambe, James Mercereau, and Arnold Silver of Ford Research Labs[3] after Brian David Josephson postulated the Josephson effect in 1962, and the first Josephson junction was made by John Rowell and Philip Anderson at Bell Labs in 1963.

Period: to
IBM superconducting logic program
Work on superconducting devices and circuits based on the Josephson effect was begun at IBM in 1964 by Juri Matisoo, who reported the successful demonstration of a device he called the “tunneling cryotron” in 1966.

Nobel price for BCS theory

Nobel price for Josephson effect
"for their experimental discoveries regarding tunneling phenomena in semiconductors and superconductors, respectively," and "for his theoretical predictions of the properties of a supercurrent through a tunnel barrier, in particular those phenomena which are generally known as the Josephson effects" -
Discovery of HTS
High-temperature superconductors (abbreviated high-Tc or HTS) are materials that behave as superconductors at unusually high temperatures. The first high-Tc superconductor was discovered in 1986 by IBM researchers Georg Bednorz and K. Alex Müller

Nobel price for discovery of superconductivity in ceramic materials
"for their important break-through in the discovery of superconductivity in ceramic materials" -
Invention of YBCO (LiN HTS)
Yttrium barium copper oxide (YBCO) is a family of crystalline chemical compounds, famous for displaying high-temperature superconductivity. It includes the first material ever discovered to become superconducting above the boiling point of liquid nitrogen (77 K) at about 90 K.

This material is used in HT SQUIDs. -
Proposal Cooper Pair box
Superconducting charge qubits have been progressing quickly. They were first suggested in 1997 by Shnirman, and by 2001 coherent oscillations were observed.
