Design and quantization of superconducting circuits

Abstract

Quantum information processing using superconducting circuits has steadily developed into a large and diverse field. The success of building larger devices emphasizes the need to more efficiently and accurately design and quantize the distributed microwave structures, including non-linear elements, such as Josephson tunnel junctions, which comprise these devices. In this talk, we review some recent results on the comparison between several of the commonly used quantization and design approaches.
