Abstract
We discuss the prospects and challenges for implementing a quantum com puter using super conducting electronics. It appears that Josephson ju nction devices operating at milli-Kelvin temperatures can achieve a qu antum dephasing time of milliseconds, allowing quantum coherent comput ations of 10(10) or more steps. This figure of merit is comparable to that of atomic system currently being studied for quantum computation.
