abstract = {A SQUID system comprises a SQUID sensor and its associated
readout electronics, which are essential for its operation.
Despite its potential for high sensitivity to magnetic flux
(or, field), the widespread use of SQUID systems has often
been hindered by difficulties in producing and comprehending
the required readout electronics. To overcome this
challenge, recent research has taken a unique approach by
considering the SQUID system from both the perspectives of
the SQUID sensor and its accompanying readout electronics.
There are two primary design concepts for SQUID systems: (1)
employing strongly damped SQUID with very low intrinsic
noise and minimizing the noise generated by the readout
electronics to a value below the intrinsic noise of the
SQUID sensor; or (2) creating a SQUID system where both
noise sources, intrinsic SQUID noise and electronics noise,
coexist and are approximately equal. However, implementing
traditional design concept (1) for SQUID system presents
significant challenges for the readout technique, whereas
design concept (2) is comparatively easier to realize. In
this comprehensive analysis, we summarize the SQUID readout
principles of design concept (1), including conventional
SQUID systems with flux modulation scheme (FMS), and further
developments of this concept, such as additional positive
feedback (APF), bias current feedback (BCF), noise
cancellation (NC) and so forth. Furthermore, we introduce
design concept (2), commonly referred to as the "weakly
damped scheme." We explain and categorize all these readout
techniques and discuss their advantages and drawbacks,
aiming to provide a useful comprehensive analysis (an
in-depth examination of SQUID readout) that bridges the gap
between SQUID concept and its practical implementation.},
