Advances in the simulation of superconducting circuits

ORAL

Abstract

Superconducting circuits are the most feasible platform of quantum computing. Like most technologies, small improvements in design and control of superconducting circuits will lead to large improvements in capability and feasability of production. Simulations can save time and money over experimental set ups and can help to determine which situations are worth creating experimentally. Some of the largest barriers to simulations of superconducting circuits are computational power and memory requirements as well as difficulties implementing time dynamics. Many improvements in simulations have been made in the past several years. We present an overview of these advancements and their implications in the field of superconducting circuits, particularly for large systems.
