Superconducting QubitsNonlinearity from Josephson junctions (Al/AlOx/Al)
• 1st superconducting qubit operated in 1998 (NEC Labs, Japan)
• “long” coherence shown 2002 (Saclay)
• two examples of C-NOT gates (2003, NEC; 2007, Delft and UCSB)
• Bell inequality tests being attempted (2006, UCSB)
So far mostly classical E-M fields: atomic physics with circuits

Atoms for 2-level systems
Requirements:• anharmonicity (natural!)
• long-lived states• good coupling to EM field• preparation, trapping etc.
Rydberg atoms & microwave cavities (Haroche et al.)
Excited atoms with one (or several) e- in
very high principal quantum number (n)
► long radiative decay time ( ),
► very large dipole moments
► well-defined preparation procedure
Alkali atoms trapped in optical cavities (Kimble et al.)
can trap single atom inside optical
cavity,
manipulate and read out its state
