Atomic tunneling Systems and fluctuating Spins interacting with superconducting Qubits

International Workshop
25 February - 1 March 2019

Atomic tunneling systems and fluctuating spins
constitute a serious nuisance for various Josephson
junction-based devices, where they act as a source
of noise and decoherence.
The workshop aims to advance the fundamental
understanding of tunneling systems, spins and
superconducting qubits and their interaction, and
to promote progress towards future applications
like quantum computing.

  superconducting qubits
