Title

Prospects for Superconducting Qubits

Abstract

I will give a review of the steady progress in achieving high-fidelity superconducting qubits. As with any “Moore’s law” phenomenon, this progress has not been the result of any one breakthrough, but rather from a continual increase in the understanding of the physics and engineering of the field. I will discuss the next steps of scaling this system, and the role that the surface code could play in this.
