Ion traps

Ion traps capture individual ions in an electrical field and use lasers to cool them down to a few millikelvins. The qubits are realized by different energy states within the hyperfine structure of the ion. This makes extremely long coherence times possible.

    ParityQC supplies Digital Twin for QSea I

    ParityQC from the QSea consortium has delivered a digital twin of the QSea I quantum computer demonstrator. This digital twin is now fully accessible via QCI Connect. It replicates all…

    Important Milestone: Xaphiro catches first ion

    It is an important milestone for the Xaphiro project from QUDORA and NXP: for the first time, their chip-based ion trap has captured individual ions. XAPHIRO has thus successfully completed…

    Project QSea I & II: Kick-off for a modular and scalable ion trap quantum computer from Hamburg

    On the way to the industrial use of quantum computing, the scalability of quantum processors is one of the biggest challenges. With our ion trap project QSea II, we are…

    Project Xaphiro: Kick-off for the ion trap consortium Qudora × NXP at the Innovation center Hamburg

    Another big step for ion trap quantum computers from Hamburg: We are pleased about the joint kick-off with Qudora and NXP, who will build a prototype ion trap quantum computer…

    We are building a modular and scalable quantum computer based on stored ion qubits.

    Ion trap quantum computers from Hamburg: Kick-off with Universal Quantum

    We are pleased to welcome our industrial partner Universal Quantum to the Innovationszentrum Hamburg and thus also to the QCI: Over the next four years, Universal Quantum will build two…

    Legato

    Building a fully scalably trapped-ion quantum computer with four chip modules

    Toccata

    A user-friendly, reliable and scalable quantum processor with at least 50 qubits

    Ion traps

    Qubits from ion traps are characterized by particularly long coherence times, high gate qualities and high entanglement. With them, more complex calculations are possible than with short-lived and error-prone qubits.…

    XAPHIRO

    Developing a microfabricated quantum computer prototype with at least 50 fully functional qubits.

    Startups and companies develop quantum computers based on ion traps

    Charged atoms cannot escape from an ion trap, as they are confined by an electromagnetic field. A laser, radio waves or microwaves can then change the state of the charged…
