The purpose of this book is to teach Quantum Computing hardware from an engineer’s perspective. Engineers play an important role in quantum computers. However, college and graduate engineering students usually do not have the required physics and mathematics training to understand how quantum computer hardware works. This book provides step-by-step guidance to connect engineers to the quantum world. This book is organized into four parts. Part I gives an overview of quantum computers and the basics of linear algebra, i.e., the Schrödinger equation, the density matrix, and the Bloch sphere. These represent the minimal knowledge required to understand quantum computing hardware. In Part II, we discuss the physics of spin magnetic moment and magnetic field interaction which is the basics of spin qubits. In Part III, we first introduce Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics, which are usually not covered in engineering classes. In Part IV, we discuss the roles of microwave electronics in quantum computers. Then we show the design parameters and methodologies of superconducting integrated quantum chip.
