An Introduction to Superconducting Qubits and Circuit Quantum Electrodynamics

Abstract

Superconducting qubits have matured from platforms demonstrating and manipulating macroscopic coherent quantum states to realizing exotic quantum states, running surface error correction codes, and single photon detection to name a few recent milestones. This article will review the fundamentals of circuit QED related to the design and simulation of superconducting qubits.
