Quantum Information Hardware
Explore various hardware platforms used for quantum information processing from an applied physics perspective. Examine the physical requirements for a hardware platform to process quantum information. Review characteristics of current hardware platforms such as superconducting quantum circuits, atomic systems, solid-state spins and optical photons. Electrical and Computer Engineering 396M (Topic 2) and Electrical Engineering 396V (Topic: Quantum Information Hardware) may not both be counted.
