Scalable Quantum Computing with Bosonic Qubits

Bosonic or continuous-variable qubits are encoded in non-classical states of electromagnetic fields. Rapid technological advances in quantum system design and control, particularly in circuit quantum electrodynamics, have brought bosonic quantum computing to the forefront in the race for building practical quantum technology. The main motivation behind using such encodings is that they can be made more robust to noise either by design or by performing some active error detection or correction directly on the bosonic mode. In this talk I will review recent theoretical and experimental progress in bosonic qubit technology, and present my outlook on the opportunities for scalable fault-tolerance with it.
