Summary:: Looking for articles/books to prepare myself for the course: Quantum computation with superconducting qubits

Hello everyone. I am about to take a course in Quantum computation with superconducting qubits and I am searching for material to prepare it. I took a first course on that subject and it did not go so well: I got lost in most of the explanations and concepts. That is why I would like to start fresh, maybe with a good book or article recommendation anyone of you can give to me.
Many thanks in advance.

Shouldn't you be asking the instructor of the course you plan to take?

Yes. I will do so as well, but I am trying to find more literature.
 
This is in my view the best of the more recent reviews

Highly recommended.
It is also worth having a look at some of the talks on IBM Qiskit's Youtube channel, there are plenty of talks on SC qubits (since this is the technology IBM uses) and some of them are reasonably beginner friendly

TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...
Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...
guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
