Superconducting quantum computing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This promising implementation of quantum information involves nanofabricated superconducting electrodes coupled through Josephson junctions. As in a superconducting electrode, the phase and the charge are conjugate variables , there exists three familly of superconducting qubits, depending if the charge, the phase or neither of the two are good quantum numbers. This refers respectively to charge Qubits, flux Qubits , and hybrid qubits.
