Tutorial Description
Josephson qubits are emerging as one of the most promising approaches for solid-state quantum information processing. Significant progress has been made in the last few years in understanding and improving the coherence of these qubits, as well as implementing controlled qubit quantum logic. The key operations needed for building a quantum computer have been demonstrated at a basic level. Superconducting qubits are also ideally suited for experiments in cavity quantum electrodynamics, since circuit parameters yielding the strong coupling limit are easily realized and the interaction between the Josephson artifical atom and the cavity can be controlled to an unprecedented level of accuracy and repeatability. New amplifier and MASER devices based on the non-linearity of Josephson junctions have also opened up the development of measurements operating near the quantum limit of performance.
