← ScienceWhich mechanism causes zero electrical resistance in superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs)?
A)Cooper pair formation✓
B)Bloch wave interference
C)Josephson junction tunneling
D)Quantum Hall effect edge states
💡 Explanation
Cooper pair formation causes correlated electron pairs to move without scattering because the electrons condense into a ground state within the crystal lattice; therefore resistance vanishes rather than remaining finite due to electron-phonon interactions.
