Quantum-state engineering with Josephson-junction devices

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the properties of low-capacitance Josephson tunneling junctions and the practical and fundamental obstacles to their use for quantum information processing and describe how the basic physical manipulations on an ideal device can be combined to perform useful operations.

The pseudogap in high-temperature superconductors: an experimental survey

TL;DR: The pseudogap is seen in all high-temperature superconductors and there is general agreement on the temperature and doping range where it exists as discussed by the authors, and it is also becoming clear that the superconducting gap emerges from the normal state pseudogaps.

Superconducting quantum bits

TL;DR: Superconducting quantum bits (qubits) form the key component of these circuits and their quantum state is manipulated by using electromagnetic pulses to control the magnetic flux, the electric charge or the phase difference across a Josephson junction.

New directions in the pursuit of Majorana fermions in solid state systems

TL;DR: This review paper highlights recent advances in the condensed matter search for Majorana that have led many in the field to believe that this quest may soon bear fruit and discusses the most remarkable properties of condensed matter Majorana fermions-the non-Abelian exchange statistics that they generate and their associated potential for quantum computation.

Pairing symmetry in cuprate superconductors

TL;DR: The recent development of phase-sensitive tests, combined with the refinement of several other symmetry-sensitive techniques, has for the most part settled this controversy in favor of predominantly $d$-wave symmetry for a number of optimally hole-and electron-doped cuprates as mentioned in this paper.
