Abstract
We discuss the prospects of detecting with high precision the force fields related to noninertiality in superconducting circuits. Special emphasis is laid on the perfectly conducting and perfect diamagnetism analogues of the Tolman-Stewart and Barnett effects, respectively. The influence of acceleration and rotation on the electrodynamics of superconducting interferometers is explicitly described. In particular, we show how motion induced changes of the oscillation frequency of the local Josephson oscillators in superconducting quantum interference filters can be used for precision measurements of acceleration in free space.
