Abstract
As my Riken laboratory, that has existed for the past 26 years, will be closed
down in March 2026, I would like to give a retrospective talk covering major
topics of the field after the discovery of Josephson effect. The topics include
Josephson junction, SQUID, macroscopic quantum tunnelling/level
quantization, Coulomb blockade, high-temperature superconductivity,
superconducting qubit, quantum phase slip and more. Our recent results
concerning the bosonic qubit will also be discussed. The rich field has
produced three Nobel physics prizes so far. I have been conducting research
in the field of superconducting macroscopic quantum systems for about half a
century, so in the talk, my personal journey around the topics will also be
disclosed.
