In Ciro's ASCII art circuit diagram notation, it is a loop with three Josephson junctions:

Offers an interesting interpretation of superposition in that type of device (TODO precise name, seems to be a flux qubit): current going clockwise or current going counter clockwise at the same time. youtu.be/xjlGL4Mvq7A?t=1348 clarifies that this is just one of the types of qubits, and that it was developed by Hans Mooij et. al., with a proposal in 1999 and experiments in 2000. The other type is dual to this one, and the superposition of the other type is between N and N + 1 copper pairs stored in a box.

+--X----X--+When half the magnetic flux quantum is applied as microwaves, this produces the ground state:where and cancel each other out. And the first excited state is:Then he mentions that:
- to go from 0 to 1, they apply the difference in energy
- if the duration is reduced by half, it creates a superposition of .
Superconducting qubits are bad because of fabrication variation by

Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-16However superconducting qubits have a limit on how precise their parameters can be set based on how well we can fabricate devices. This may require per-device characterisation.
But seriously, this is a valuable little list.
The course is basically exclusively about transmons.

Terrible name, but very interesting dataset:
GitHub describes the input quite well:
The model takes as input a RGB image from the robot workspace camera and a task string describing the task that the robot is supposed to perform.What task the model should perform is communicated to the model purely through the task string. The image communicates to the model the current state of the world, i.e. assuming the model runs at three hertz, every 333 milliseconds, we feed the latest RGB image from a robot workspace camera into the model to obtain the next action to take.
TODO: how is the scenario specified?
TODO: any simulation integration to it?
