Abstract: Among the myriad of quantum systems being considered for the implementation of quantum computing, superconducting circuits are among the earliest to be developed and most mature. This is likely because they are relatively straightforward and simple to implement, i.e. the fabrication is significantly simpler than typical VLSI circuits as well as the fact that typical VLSI circuits can be leveraged to control and read out the information from the superconducting quantum bits (qubits).
