Superconducting Quantum Computing: A Review

Abstract

Over the last two decades, tremendous advances have been made for constructing large-scale quantum computers. In particular, the quantum processor architecture based on superconducting qubits has become the leading candidate for scalable quantum computing platform, and the milestone of demonstrating quantum supremacy was first achieved using 53 superconducting qubits in 2019. In this work, we provide a brief review on the experimental efforts towards building a large-scale superconducting quantum computer, including qubit design, quantum control, readout techniques, and the implementations of error correction and quantum algorithms. Besides the state of the art, we finally discuss future perspectives, and which we hope will motivate further research.
