Re: flux +- quantization

2) The magnetic field _per se_ is never quantized.

Bottom line: the quantization is not a property of the flux. You can think
of it as a property of the superconductor.

Flux, measured in Maxwells HAS a quantized minimum value.

Field, measured in Tesla = Maxwell/m^2 is NOT quantized.

Faraday's 'lines' are much closer to the quantized Maxwells than the
unquantized Teslas.
