Quantum and Nanocomputing

This lecture covers the birth of quantum mechanics, including Planck's assumptions and the development of quantum mechanics. It also delves into Schrödinger's equations, wave functions, artificial atoms, solid-state qubits, superconductivity, Josephson effect, and the theory of superconductivity. The lecture explores the concept of artificial atoms, the principle of superposition, and the realization, control, and readout of superconducting qubits. It also discusses the transition from the Cooper Pair Box to the Transmon regime, harmonic resonators, and the coherence, relaxation, dephasing, and decoherence in transmon qubits.
