Abstract:

Microwave systems are a central part of modern technology, with major applications including wireless communication and radar.   In recent years, microwave circuits and systems have also become leading platforms in the development of quantum computing, sensing, and communication systems.  For instance, the quantum processors being developed by large companies such as IBM and Google are superconducting microwave circuits which are controlled and readout by microwave photons.
