Course overview and goals
In "Quantum Information Technology Using Superconducting Circuits," students will learn a wide range of topics from basic research to applications using superconducting quantum circuits. First, I explain the formulation of superconducting quantum circuits and introduce research related to fundamental physics. Next, I will explain the research leading to quantum sensing and the development of quantum computers.
The aim of this lecture is to understand the controllability and scalability of superconducting quantum circuits and to learn how they are adapted to a wide range of fields, from basic research to applications.
