Superconducting circuits are a popular platform for quantum computing and simulations, demonstrating several advantages such as improved coherence and robustness compared to trapped-ion, NV center, or ultracold-atom technologies. Custom circuits can be easily designed to mimic the physics of natural or artificial systems, making them relevant to a wide range of research fields. Over the years, qubit architectures have evolved towards improved scalability, lower losses, and improved qubit-qubit connectivity. In this talk, I will be introducing the physics of superconducting circuits, recent developments in qubit architecture, and hybrid devices that combine electromagnetic qubit modes with other non-electromagnetic modes and give rise to rich physics.
