One of the most popular approaches being pursued to achieve a quantum advantage with practical hardware is the use of superconducting circuit devices. Although significant progress has been made over the previous two decades, substantial engineering efforts are required to scale these devices so they can be used to solve many problems of interest. Unfortunately, much of this exciting field is described using technical jargon and concepts from physics that are unfamiliar to a classically trained electromagnetics engineer. As a result, this work is often difficult for engineers to become engaged in.
