Hi guys!
I'm making my Phd on cavity QED but wish to move towards superconducting quantum circuits, could you give me some good references (articles or books) at an introductory level (for self-study)?
Thanks in advance

Tinkhams book is good for "general" superconductivity but not great for circuits.
What type of quantum circuits are you interested in? There are a few review articles that might be a good start. Devoret wrote one about the theory a few years ago that was good. More recently there have also been a couple of review articles in Nature (or possibly Science) written by people like Clarke and Schoelkopf.

Put those names into Google Scholar and I am sure you will find something.

Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
According to recent podcast between Jacob Barandes and Sean Carroll, Barandes claims that putting a sensitive qubit near one of the slits of a double slit interference experiment is sufficient to break the interference pattern. Here are his words from the official transcript: Is that true? Caveats I see: The qubit is a quantum object, so if the particle was in a superposition of up and down, the qubit can be in a superposition too. Measuring the qubit in an orthogonal direction might...
