Generally I'd throw away anything that measures below 1.4V . You can use the resistance measurement setting as a continuity tester, to see if an incandescent bulb is burnt or not .-- talk ) 03 : 29, 23 March 2015 ( UTC)

A length of normal metal is connected at either end to either side of the qubit using superconducting leads, the phase across the qubit, which is defined by its state, is translated into the normal metal, the resistance of which is then read-out using low noise resistance measurements.
