- Abstract: During the last 30 years, stimulated by the quest to build superconducting
quantum processors, a theory of quantum electrical circuits has emerged and
this theory goes under the name of circuit quantum electrodynamics or
circuit-QED. The goal of the theory is to provide a quantum description of the
most relevant degrees of freedom. The central objects to be derived and studied
are the Lagrangian and the Hamiltonian governing these degrees of freedom.
Central concepts in classical network theory such as impedance and scattering
matrices can be used to obtain the Hamiltonian and Lagrangian description for
the lossless (linear) part of the circuits. Methods of analysis, both classical
and quantum, can also be developed for nonreciprocal circuits. These lecture
notes aim at giving a pedagogical overview of this subject for
theoretically-oriented Master or PhD students in physics and electrical
engineering, as well as Master and PhD students who work on experimental
superconducting quantum devices and wish to learn more theory.

We demonstrate the failure of the Dirac-Bergmann theory for the quantization of realistic, nearly singular superconducting circuits.
The correct treatment of nearly singular systems involves a perturbative Born-Oppenheimer analysis.
We find that the singular limit of this regularized analysis is, in many cases, completely unlike the singular theory.

We first analyze the generalization ability of QCBMs and identify their superiorities when the quantum devices can directly access the target distribution.
Next, we prove how the generalization error bound of QGANs depends on the employed Ansatz, the number of qudits, and input states.

from the barren plateau [87.04438831673063]
Variational quantum circuits have been widely employed in quantum simulation and quantum machine learning in recent years.
However, quantum circuits with random structures have poor trainability due to the exponentially vanishing gradient with respect to the circuit depth and the qubit number.
This result leads to a general belief that deep quantum circuits will not be feasible for practical tasks.
