Superconducting-circuit based platforms are strong contenders in the race to build a quantum computer.While the transmon has had extraordinary success as the leading superconducting qubit modality, there are reasons to believe that other types of qubits could possess relative benefits in terms of noise immunity, anharmonicity, or extensibility. In this...
Superconducting qubits are among the leading competitors in the race towards building the first full-fledged quantum computer. Using this platform, researchers have for the first time demonstrated computational capability that is beyond the reach of the current classical machines. (This achievement is nicknamed "Quantum Supremacy".) Up to date, however, the...
