Abstract
The state-of-the-art of superconducting quantum devices enables the development of medium-sized quantum computers that have the potential to demonstrate quantum advantages over their classical counterparts. In this talk, I will discuss our recent works on superconducting analog quantum simulators, where circuit QED is an essential building block. In particular, I will present a universal and implementable approach to quantum adiabaticity via a circuit QED setup for adiabatic quantum computers. This approach does not require the spectral knowledge of the adiabatic quantum computer or the construction of unphysical Hamiltonians.
