Breakthrough validates first-time entanglement in a commercial setting of two qubits in two separate ion traps
COLLEGE PARK, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IonQ (NYSE: IONQ), a leader in the quantum computing industry, announced it has achieved the next milestone on the path towards scaling its quantum systems – demonstrating remote ion-ion entanglement. Building off the ion-photon entanglement achievement announced in February, this demonstration announced in September showcases the second out of four significant milestones required to develop photonic interconnects – a foundational step towards quantum networking and a core component of IonQ's scaling strategy.
IonQ's world-class R&D team entangled two trapped ion qubits from separate trap wells using entangled photons to achieve these results. The IonQ team achieved remote entanglement by developing a system to collect photons from two trap wells and routing them to a single detection hub. This critical "point-to-point" step established a quantum communication link – an essential piece in scaling quantum systems. While IonQ has always intended to implement photonic interconnects in its systems, never before has any company demonstrated the ability to bring this technology to an integration stage within a commercially available, enterprise-grade quantum computer. More details about IonQ's latest milestone are available in the blog post here.
"IonQ's north star remains scalability at high performance, and the progress we've made towards photonic interconnects ensures our customers will have access to large quantum systems capable of tackling the most complex problems," said Peter Chapman, President & CEO, IonQ. "We're consistently making significant headway on our technical roadmap, and customers across academia and business recognize the unique value IonQ's systems bring as we near the point of commercial quantum advantage."
"IonQ's unique architecture and technology relies on scaling qubits within a single ion trap and then networking multiple traps together to achieve commercial quantum advantage," said Dr. Björn Flatt, Head of Emerging Technologies, IonQ. "With our latest achievements, we are now focused on the next phase for achieving scale – swapping ion-ion entanglement to the QPU. We are committed to pushing the boundaries on this technology and bringing photonic interconnects to a technical readiness where they can be integrated in commercially available quantum computers."
IonQ is making rapid progress on its journey towards unlocking massive scale via modularity and photonic interconnects. IonQ has made technological and architectural choices by embracing a practical path that balances three core pillars required for commercial advantage: Performance, Scale, and Enterprise-Grade capabilities. Governments, global business enterprises, and academic institutions worldwide trust IonQ to deliver fast, accurate, and accessible quantum computers that open new opportunities for every industry.

突破验证在商业环境中首次实现了两个离子阱中的两个量子位的纠缠
马里兰大学公园分校-(BUSINESS WIRE)-量子计算行业领导者IonQ(纽约证券交易所:IONQ)宣布已经实现了通向量子系统扩展的下一个里程碑-展示了远程离子-离子纠缠。基于今年二月宣布的离子-光子纠缠成就,本次九月的演示展示了开发光子互连的四个重要里程碑中的第二个,这是发展量子网络和IonQ扩展策略的基础性步骤之一。
IonQ的世界一流研发团队使用纠缠光子将来自不同阱井的两个被困离子量子位进行了纠缠,从而实现了这些结果。IonQ团队通过开发一个系统,从两个阱井收集光子并将其路由至单个检测中心,实现了远程纠缠。这一关键的“点对点”步骤建立了一个量子通信链路 - 这是扩展量子系统的关键部分。尽管IonQ一直打算在其系统中实现光子互连,但以往从未有任何公司展示过将这项技术带入商业可用、企业级量子计算机的整合阶段的能力。有关IonQ最新里程碑的更多详情请参阅此处的博客文章
“IonQ的北极星仍然是高性能可扩展性,我们在光子互连方面取得的进展确保了我们的客户将获得能够解决最复杂问题的大型量子系统,”IonQ总裁兼首席执行官Peter Chapman表示。“我们在技术路线图上不断取得重要进展,学术界和业界的客户认识到IonQ系统所带来的独特价值,我们正逐渐接近实现商业量子优势的时刻。”
“IonQ独特的架构和技术依赖于在单个离子阱中扩展量子位,然后将多个阱连接起来实现商业量子优势,”IonQ新兴技术负责人Björn Flatt博士表示。“随着我们最新的成就,我们现在致力于实现规模化的下一阶段 - 将离子-离子纠缠转移到QPU。我们致力于突破这项技术的界限,并将光子互连推进到技术准备阶段,以便它们能够集成到商用量子计算机中。”
IonQ正在快速推进其向通过模块化和光子互连实现大规模解锁的旅程。 IonQ已经通过采纳平衡商业优势所需的三个核心支柱的实用路径所做出技术和架构选择:性能、规模和企业级能力。 全球政府、全球企业以及学术机构都信任IonQ能够提供快速、准确和易于访问的量子计算机,为每个行业开辟新的机遇。
