Superconducting circuit technology for quantum information processing

We explore the physics and engineering of superconducting circuits for quantum computing. Superconducting quantum bits consisting of Josephson junctions, i.e., tunnel junctions between superconducting electrodes, enable information processing based on the principles of quantum mechanics, by using their properties such as quantum superposition and entanglement. Superconducting qubits and related circuits have proven to be an excellent tool for single-photon generation and detection in the microwave domain and thus are suitable for applications such as quantum information transfer and highly sensitive quantum sensing.
