English
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Abbreviation of transmission line shunted plasma oscillation qubit.
Noun
[edit]transmon (plural transmons)
- (physics) A particular form of superconducting qubit.
- 2019, Thi Ha Kyaw, Towards a Scalable Quantum Computing Platform in the Ultrastrong Coupling Regime, Springer, →ISBN, page 93:
- Two additional transmon circuits can be positioned at the resonator edges, where the resonator voltage is maximum.
- 2019 October 21, Dennis Overbye, “Quantum Computing Is Coming, Bit by Qubit”, in New York Times[1]:
- Those bits are then converted into pulses of microwaves and sent down through wires and pipes to a series of 50 small superconducting devices called “transmons” — the qubits — dangling at the bottom.
