TL;DR: The phase state of a Josephson junction containing two ferromagnetic layers can be toggled between 0 and π by changing the relative orientation of the two magnetizations as mentioned in this paper. But the phase state is invariant to the thickness of the material.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of ionizing radiation from environmental radioactive materials and cosmic rays contributes to the observed difference in the density of the broken Cooper pairs, referred to as quasiparticles, which is orders of magnitude higher than the value predicted at equilibrium by the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer theory.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors realized a giant atom by coupling small atoms to a waveguide at multiple, but well separated, discrete locations, enabling tunable atom-waveguide couplings with large on-off ratios and a coupling spectrum that can be engineered by device design.

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic approach that goes beyond the dispersive approximation to exploit the engineered level structure of the coupler and optimize its control is presented, and the authors demonstrate CZ and $ZZ$-free iSWAP gates with two-qubit interaction fidelities of 99.76 \pm 0.07$% and 99.87 \ pm 0.23$%, respectively.

TL;DR: In this article, a phase-controllable spin-valve Josephson junction with a fixed thickness of 2.0 nm and a NiFe layer of thickness varying between 1.1 and 1.8 nm was studied.
