Fermi Lab and MIT Lincoln Lab Achieve Ion Trap Control Breakthrough for Quantum Computing
QUANTUM COMPUTING
Researchers at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and MIT Lincoln Laboratory have advanced ion-trap quantum computing by successfully trapping and manipulating ions using cryoelectronics. This proof-of-principle experiment, supported by DOE National Quantum Information Science Research Centers, demonstrates a hybrid approach to reduce noise and improve control, paving the way for scalable quantum systems. Future work will focus on enhancing efficiency and scaling ion-trap arrays.
