Demonstration of the Nonlocal Josephson Effect in Andreev Molecules

We perform switching current measurements of planar Josephson junctions (JJs) coupled by a common superconducting electrode with independent control over the two superconducting phase differences. We observe an anomalous phase shift in the current–phase relation of a JJ as a function of gate voltage or phase difference in the second JJ. This demonstrates the nonlocal Josephson effect, and the implementation of a φ0-junction which is tunable both electrostatically and magnetically. The anomalous…

Expulsion of Members of Criminal Families (‘Clans’)?

Public debates about complex question of migration law can go astray. That is what happened with a draft proposal for an amendment to the German Residence and Asylum Acts which is meant to facilitate, amongst others, the expulsion of members of criminal associations. The media and politicians criticised an alleged ‘clan liability’ of family members for the behaviour of relatives. In interviews with DER SPIEGEL (’Es handelt sich überwiegend um Symbolpolitik’) and the digital television format ZDF…
