1. A quantum circuit, comprising:
a plurality of lumped-element inductors and a plurality of lumped-element capacitors formed from a superconducting metamaterial, wherein the plurality of lumped-element inductors and the plurality of lumped-element capacitors are configured as a plurality of unit cells arranged in a lattice;
a series of superconducting qubits embedded in the lattice, wherein each of the series of superconducting qubits is coupled to a different one of the plurality of unit cells of the lattice so that each of the series of superconducting qubits is individually addressable using one of a combination of metamaterial modes that will generate a Stark shift of a transition frequency of that superconducting qubit; and
a high-bandwidth arbitrary waveform generator coupled to the lattice and configured to selectively drive the combination of metamaterial modes and generate the Stark shift of the transition frequency of one of more of the series of superconducting qubits.
