Quantum Josephson junction circuits and the dawn of artificial atoms - Nature Physics
In 1985, experiments revealed the quantum behaviour of a macroscopic degree of freedom: the phase difference across a Josephson junction. The authors recount the history of this milestone for the development of superconducting quantum circuits.

Had a chance to stop by UCLA South Bay Campus. Amazing spot—right up on the hill with the Pacific Ocean below. It really does feel like the campus sits above the clouds. ☁️🌊

Found my homework from 20 years ago. Who would have expected that the energy–energy correlator we studied then would still be a widely discussed observable in QCD today? 😂😂

✨ Preparing a nomination package takes patience and care — polishing every detail until it shines. Fingers crossed it pays off, because our young scientists truly deserve the recognition. 🌟

Our departmental 10-week REU program wrapped up with all students giving 10-minute talks. Curtis and Brian presented their projects on global analysis and tensor networks—both did a great job. Seeing students grow so much in a short time is truly rewarding 👏👏👏
