SUMMARY:Design and modeling of superconducting hardware for quantum co
 mputation and simulation\, R. G. Herb Condensed Matter Seminar\, Jens 
 Koch\, Northwestern University
DESCRIPTION:Despite extraordinary challenges\, research worldwide has 
 led to remarkable advances in the exquisite control of individual quan
 tum systems. Today\, microwave-controlled superconducting circuits rep
 resent one of the “hot” candidates for the quantum hardware needed
  in a future quantum computer. I will give a brief review of the histo
 ry\, summarize how quantum mechanics manifests in these circuits\, and
  then present theory work on developing a next generation of supercond
 ucting qubits using superinductor circuit elements. The new devices ma
 y realize intrinsic error protection by employing energy-degenerate wa
 ve functions with disjoint support. I will end with an outlook on the 
 use of superconducting qubits in photon-based quantum simulation.
