Abstract: A superconducting device includes a first superconducting wire configured to carry a first current in a superconducting state, and to generate thermal energy upon occurrence of a hot spot during conduction. The device includes a second superconducting wire, thermally coupled to and electrically isolated from the first superconducting wire. The second superconducting wire is configured to conduct a second current in a superconducting state below, but sufficiently near its critical surface to be quenched to a non-superconducting state upon conduction of the thermal energy from the first superconducting wire.
