## Description

The UK's National Quantum Computing Centre aims at building quantum computers which will be made available to end users\. Among others, one of the hardware platforms we are developing is based on Superconducting \(SC\) quantum bits \(qubits\), which form part of a superconducting quantum state circuit\. Superconducting circuits are macroscopic in size and individually form a quantum state, but have quantum properties based upon quantized energy levels, superposition of states, and quantum entanglement, all of which are more commonly associated with atoms\.
