DESCRIPTION:Quantum computing offers the potential for an exponential speed
 -up of certain classes of computational problems\, and\, as such\, the dev
 elopment of a practical quantum computer has been a field of intense resea
 rch over the past two decades. Yet\, it is still early in the development 
 of these systems\, as we have just reached the point at which laboratory e
 xperiments have shown that quantum computers can outperform classical comp
 uters at certain computational tasks. As such\, it is an exciting time in 
 the field\, analogous to the early days of classical computer development.
  In this talk\, I will describe the use of microwave and electronic techno
 logy in quantum computing\, with a focus on the superconducting qubit tech
 nology which was used to show that a quantum computer is capable of post-c
 lassical computation. The talk will be geared towards engineers with no ba
 ckground in quantum computing and will provide a glimpse into the fundamen
 tals\, contemporary system architectures\, recent experiments\, and\, fina
 lly\, major engineering challenges that must be overcome if fault tolerant
  quantum computing is to become a reality. Google’s state-of-the-art Syc
