Trapped-ion quantum computing operates at room temperature, unlike other types that need extreme cold. This type of quantum computing is promising for stable, long-term research and application.

This outcome also highlights an increasing divergence between quantum hardware approaches. Superconducting qubits, which are led by industry leaders such as IBM and Google, provide fast gate speeds ...

The simulation of strongly interacting many-body systems is a key objective of quantum physics research, as it can help to test the predictions of physics theories and yield new valuable insight.

Cold atom experiments are among the most powerful and precise ways of investigating and measuring the Universe and exploring the quantum world. By trapping atoms and exploiting their quantum ...

The end of the year is usually a busy time in the quantum computing arena, as companies often try to announce that they’ve reached major milestones before the year wraps up. This year has been no ...

A device smaller than a grain of dust may help unlock the kind of quantum computers people have only dreamed about. Built on ...

Trapped ion quantum computing represents one of the most promising approaches to realising scalable quantum processors. By confining electrically charged atoms using electromagnetic fields, ...
