In this seminar, an overview of the quantum experimental platforms that are studied and developed in Trento will be given, with a focus on the field of superconducting quantum circuits. The development steps to build a superconducting device will be described, starting from design and simulations, followed by microfabrication and cryogenic measurements. FInally, examples of recent results in this field will be reviewed. | | |
