A Path to Scalable Quantum Computers


The demonstration that ions can be precisely manipulated in a trap containing integrated photonics paves the way for a large-scale trapped-ion quantum processor.

Now Carmelo Mordini and colleagues at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich have presented potential building blocks for a future scalable quantum computer based on the QCCD architecture [ 6]. Mordini and colleagues’ work takes a nice step forward by presenting the first quantitative description of the effects of integrated photonic elements on ion shuttling routines.
