With its rich dynamics, the quantum harmonic oscillator is an innate platform for understanding real-world quantum systems and could even excel as the heart of a quantum computer. A particularly promising and rapidly advancing platform that harnesses quantum harmonic oscillators for information processing is the bosonic circuit quantum electrodynamics (cQED) system. In this article, we provide perspectives on the progress, challenges, and future directions in building a bosonic cQED quantum computer. We describe the main hardware building blocks and how they facilitate quantum error correction, metrology, and simulation. We conclude with our views of the key challenges that lie on the horizon, as well as scientific and cultural strategies for overcoming them and building a practical quantum computer with bosonic cQED hardware.
