Superconducting Qubits - Lecture 3

Explore the third lecture in a series on superconducting qubits, delivered by R. Vijayaraghavan as part of the "Condensed Matter Meets Quantum Information" program at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into the fascinating world where condensed matter physics intersects with quantum information processing, focusing on superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) as promising candidates for quantum computation. Gain insights into how these devices encode qubits, their coupling mechanisms, and manipulation techniques. Learn about the basics of superconductivity, order parameters, Josephson effects, and superconducting quantum interference. This lecture is part of a comprehensive program designed to bridge the gap between condensed matter and quantum information researchers, fostering new ideas and collaborations in this rapidly expanding field.
