1. A magnetic field detector for detecting magnetic fields over a broad operational temperature range comprising:
a plurality of Josephson junctions connected to each other by superconducting interconnecting paths, wherein the plurality of Josephson junctions are arranged in an array; and
wherein the superconducting interconnecting paths connecting the plurality of Josephson junctions in the array are designed to not all have a uniform cross-sectional geometry with respect to each other.
