Superconducting circuits with Josephson junctions can behave as artificial atoms. In these quantum circuits, the Josephson junctions act as nonlinear circuit elements (Box 1). Such nonlinearity in a ...

It’s one thing to learn about transmission lines in theory, and quite another to watch a voltage pulse bounce off an open connector. [Alpha Phoenix] bridges the gap between knowledge and ...

In one-dimensional conductors, interactions result in correlated electronic systems. At low energy, a hallmark signature of the so-called Tomonaga–Luttinger liquids is the universal conductance curve ...

When high-voltage electricity breaks out in open air, it rips through the atmosphere, forming chaotic, branching fingers of electric plasma. These electrical arcs are difficult to control. They branch ...

Two Americans and a German won the Nobel Prize in physics for optics research that is improving the accuracy of such ...
