Our neighborhood is having another power outage tonight — the third in two weeks. Hard to believe this keeps happening in a “modern” city like Los Angeles @ladwp.com 😱

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? 😂😂
