In this talk we will introduce quantum circuit theory. We will see how the diverse elements at hand – cables, inductances, capacitors, Josephson junctions – can be used for quantum information processing i. e. to create qubits, artificial atoms, non classical microwave states, cavities, etc. Along with the theory, we will revise the main experiments in this field, which developed in the last four years. We will also review the main challenges and obstacles to progress.
