  As superconducting magnet technology is pushed towards higher performance,
energy density and total stored energy follow exponentially. Protecting magnets
becomes substantially more challenging with traditional methods being stretched
to their limits. New technologies such as CLIQ (Coupling Loss Induced Quench)
promise to provide a robust method to protect advanced magnets, however they
become inductance limited in large magnet strings or at low field, leading to
more complex configurations. A technique to substantially reduce this
limitation and improve response time is presented, by winding coils in a
bifilar fashion and connecting them in series for typical operation, while
providing an anti-parallel connection for quasi-zero-inductance in a protection
case. This allows for extremely high di/dt. The concept is then demonstrated on
a small REBCO coil.
