Quantum Computing: New Ion Trap On A Microfabricated Chip (ETH Zurich)


A new technical paper titled "Penning micro-trap for quantum computing" was published by researchers at ETH Zürich, Leibniz Universität Hannover, and Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt. Abstract "Trapped ions in radio-frequency traps are among the leading approaches for realizing quantum computers, because of high-fidelity quantum gates and long coherence times. However, the use of r... » read more
