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 brockage, 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 five 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.
