Advances in materials science and engineering have played a central role in the
development of classical computers and will undoubtedly be critical in propelling the …

Amorphous solids show surprisingly universal behaviour at low temperatures. The
prevailing wisdom is that this can be explained by the existence of two-state defects within …

Quantum engineering–the design and fabrication of quantum coherent structures–has
emerged as a field in physics with important potential applications. This book provides a self …

Coherent control of quantum states is at the heart of implementing solid-state quantum
processors and testing quantum mechanics at the macroscopic level. Despite significant …

Multipartite entanglement is essential for quantum computation and communication,,, and for
fundamental tests of quantum mechanics and precision measurements. It has been …

The requirements of quantum computations impose high demands on the level of qubit
protection from perturbations; in particular, from those produced by the environment. Here …

We describe a tunable-cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) architecture with an rf SQUID
phase qubit inductively coupled to a single-mode, resonant cavity with a tunable frequency …

We present the observation of Landau-Zener-Stückelberg (LZS) interference of the dressed
states arising from an artificial atom, a superconducting phase qubit, interacting with a …

This paper presents a theoretical analysis of the recently realized tunable coupler for
superconducting phase qubits [RC Bialczak, arXiv: 1007.2219 (unpublished)]. The coupling …

Amorphous silicon films prepared by electron-beam evaporation have systematically and
substantially greater atomic density for higher thickness, higher growth temperature, and …
