a branch of solid state physics and quantum computing that implements superconducting electronic circuits using superconducting qubits as artificial atoms, or quantum dots.

This is a timeline of quantum computing.

Linear optical quantum computing or linear optics quantum computation, also photonic quantum computing, is a paradigm of quantum computation, allowing (under certain conditions, described below) universal quantum computation.

the invocation of quantum emulators, simulators or processors through the cloud.
