Superconducting quantum circuits are currently one of the most promising platforms for realizing a large-scale quantum computer capable of solving complex tasks that are unsolvable by classical computers. The operation of a superconducting quantum computer relies on microwave control of superconducting qubits, the basic unit of information, via multiple cables […]
The missing mass problem arose in the 20th century when observations of the dynamics of astrophysical objects could not be explained by ordinary luminous matter. This suggested the existence of some non-luminous excess mass, plentiful in the observable universe. Inspired by the non-luminous nature of this strange new substance, the […]
