Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a final performance report on a DURINT project, which summarizes its main achievements, including: the design of sophisticated instrumentation for the control and measurements of superconductor flux qubits, the refinement of qubit fabrication technology, the demonstration of coherent operation of qubits both in frequency and time domain, and the design and analysis of new superconductor devices for processing and measurement of quantum information. Despite several challenges still faced by superconductor-based quantum computing, the project has been a major step toward addressing the still unsolved problems of the field.
