Quantum Simulations with Photons and Polaritons

Part of the book series: Quantum Science and Technology ((QST))

Abstract

Superconducting circuits have become a leading quantum platform for the implementation of quantum information tasks. Here, we revise the basic concepts of circuit network theory and circuit quantum electrodynamics for the sake of analog and digital quantum simulations with microwave photons in superconducting circuit lattices. We prove that superconducting circuits are a promising quantum technology for building scalable quantum simulators, enjoying unique and distinctive properties when compared to more advanced platforms as trapped ions and optical lattices.
