They are thus a promising tool in many areas of fundamental science, including biological imaging as well as physics. Of the many different systems being pursued as quantum sensors, trapped ions could ...

Trapped-ion technologies are an incredibly useful tool in physics. They are a leading candidate to build the quantum bits, or qubits, that make up quantum computers because ions are relatively easy to ...

Scientists are using “trapped ions” in highly precise experiments to search for a new, fifth force of nature that could help ...

Innovations such as Trapped Ion Mobility (TIMS), smartbeam and scanning lasers for MALDI-MS Imaging that deliver true pixel fidelity, and eXtreme Resolution FTMS (XR) technology capable to reveal ...

For the first time, researchers have designed a fully connected 32-qubit trapped-ion quantum computer register operating at cryogenic temperatures. The new system represents an important step ...

On Thursday, the startup IonQ announced that the next generation of its ion-trap quantum computer was ready for use. The new machine marks a major jump for the company, going from 11 qubits up to 32.

Analyst Paul Smith-Goodson dives deeper into MIT Lincoln Laboratory researchers have developed the first trapped-ion quantum chip with integrated photonics. The development will aid in the future ...

ZuriQ, a spin-out from ETH Zurich in Switzerland, has raised $4.2mn to commercialise a new chip architecture that could dramatically increase the number of qubits a trapped-ion quantum computer ...
