Now, a team led by scientists from ETH Zurich has proposed a new ion trap that promises to enable scalability far beyond current capabilities. The study’s findings are published in Nature.

The charge on an ion makes it easy to use electric fields to hold them in place. Indeed, if you trap a group of ions, they naturally form up in regularly spaced arrays, making it really easy to ...

Researchers at ETH have now created an ion trap on a microfabricated chip using only static fields – an electric field and a magnetic field – in which quantum operations can be performed. In this trap ...

The first adjustable “ion trap” could help scientists better understand the challenges of building practical quantum computers, researchers say. Conventional ion traps confine atomic particles ...

The new trap lived up to expectations, confining a single ion for several days and giving the ETH researchers full control over its movement and position (see image). To test the set-up’s viability ...

Here we realize a micro-fabricated Penning ion trap that removes these restrictions by replacing the radio-frequency field with a 3 T magnetic field. We demonstrate full quantum control of an ion in ...

Microsoft and Quantinuum today announced a major breakthrough in quantum error correction. Using Quantinuum’s ion-trap hardware and Microsoft’s new qubit ...

TEL AVIV, ISRAEL and INNSBRUCK, AUSTRIA / ACCESSWIRE / December 5, 2024 / Classiq Technologies, a leader in quantum computing software, and Alpine Quantum Technologies (AQT), a global pioneer in ...

College Park-based quantum computing company IonQ Wednesday delivered its Ion Trap to the European quantum data center at QuantumBasel, marking a significant milestone in the company’s most ...

By adding an oscillating electromagnetic field, on the other hand, one obtains a stable ion trap, also known as a Paul trap. In this way, it has been possible in recent years to build quantum ...
