On the Quantum Computing Bus: A Chat with Steven M. Girvin

Computing with qubits beyond the simplest examples requires the ability to store, retrieve and communicate those qubits without losing their quantum state. Steven Girvin is the Eugene Higgins Professor of Physics and Professor of Applied Physics at Yale University. His primary focus at present is on the quantum electrodynamics of microwave electrical circuits and quantum information processing with superconducting qubits and cavities. A 2007 paper on which Prof. Girvin collaborated, Coupling Superconducting Qubits via a Cavity Bus, points in the direction of the sort of data bus necessary for meaningful quantum computing.
