Superconducting nano electronics hold great promise for realizing quantum processors. We will briefly discuss the fundamentals of superconducting qubits, control and measurement schemes. We will further discuss the discussion by reviewing the steps followed in engineering a quantum processor, review the state of the art in the industry, and challenges in developing multi-qubit processors. We will finish the talk by discussing in more details one of those challenges, namely cross talk, in multi qubit processors.
