Everything about Transmon
Superconducting qubit implementation
In quantum computing, and more specifically in superconducting quantum computing, a transmon is a type of superconducting charge qubit designed to have reduced sensitivity to charge noise. The transmon was developed by Jens Koch, Terri M. Yu, Jay Gambetta, Andrew Houck, David Schuster, Johannes Majer, Alexandre Blais, Michel Devoret, Steven M. Girvin, and Robert J. Schoelkopf at Yale University and Université de Sherbrooke in 2007. Its name is an abbreviation of the term transmission line shunted plasma oscillation qubit; one which consists of a Cooper-pair box "where the two superconductors are also [capacitively] shunted in order to decrease the sensitivity to charge noise, while maintaining a sufficient anharmonicity for selective qubit control".
