  Optics and more recently coherent matter waves enabled inertial sensors such
as accelerometers and gyroscopes to reach high levels of resolution and
sensitivity. As these technologies rest on physical phenomena that require
particular setups and working conditions such as, e.g., kilometers of optical
fibers or ultralow temperatures, their application range is limited because of
lack of portability. Here, we propose a path forward considering a
superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) to detect and measure
acceleration, using electronic interferometry. The operation of such an
accelerometer rests on the ability of the Cooper pairs to record their wave
function phase change as the device is subjected either to a transverse
acceleration or vibrations. We provide numerical evidence for the feasibility
of SQUID-based accelerometers that can be used for transverse acceleration and
oscillatory motion measurement.
