Outline
We study quantum information physics and engineering in superconducting circuits. The targets of our research include quantum information processing and ultra-sensitive measurement based on quantum mechanical properties of the circuits. Superconducting quantum circuits offer excellent tools for the purposes thanks to their low dissipation and large nonlinearity.
