One of the most significant areas emerging in the area of quantum technology is that of quantum computing. Companies such as Google, IBM, and Microsoft have made significant investments in quantum computing to develop small scale quantum computers using microwave frequency technologies involving arrays of superconducting Josephson junctions operating at millikelvin temperatures. Other technologies which have been investigated for the implementation of quantum computers include quantum optics, ion trap devices and solid state quantum technologies. Quantum amplifiers play a critical role in many of these quantum computing technologies in that they are required to read out qubit states and transfer the information to the classical world.
