SUMMARY:The New Superconducting Quantum Devices - Phil Meeson\, Royal Holl
 oway\, University of London.
DTSTART:20131009T101500Z
DTEND:20131009T111500Z
UID:TALK47270@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Michael Sutherland
DESCRIPTION:I will briefly review the rise of the new quantum devices that
  started with the observation of quantum coherent evolution in a Cooper-pa
 ir charge qubit by Nakamura and Tsai in 1999 and its subsequent developmen
 t into a range of different types of superconducting qubits (charge\, flux
 \,\nphase…) and readout technologies. I will discuss our work at Royal H
 olloway in which the quantum dynamics of superconducting nano-fabricated d
 evices are driven by the non-linear nature of the Josephson inductance.  T
 he potential for the use of such devices lies not only in the field of qua
 ntum computing but as a new generation of quantum limited  electromagnetic
  sensors of varying types.\n
