Abstract

In this chapter, we envisage a quantum memory cell composed of a superconducting flux qubit galvanically coupled (Bourassa et al. Phys Rev A 80:032109, 2009 [1]) to a microwave resonator in the circuit QED framework. With the proposed cell, we would like to scale-up the entire structure into a three dimensional setup (see Chap. 7).

Creativity is intelligence having fun.
