IonQ Delivers A New Architecture And Glass Quantum Computer Chip A Year | IonQ beat its technology roadmap projection by more than a year by demonstrating its ReconfigurableMulticore Quantum Architecture (RMQA). This technology should eventually allow IonQ to begin scaling large numbers of qubits. Moreover, IonQ has also delivered another chip technology ahead of schedule – RMQA will be implemented on a new quantum chip platform called Evaporated Glass Traps (EGTs). Many technologies are used for quantum computers, such as superconductors, photonics, silicon-based, neutral atoms, trapped ions, and several others. IonQ’s present quantum technology of choice is natural ions created from an isotope of a rare-earth metal called ytterbium. Just as classical computers use bits for computation, quantum computers use quantum bits or “qubits.” Ion qubits are created using precision lasers to remove an outer electron from an atom of ytterbium, which creates a positively charged ion whose internal workings act as a qubit. Once positioned in the trap, oscillating voltage fields hold the ions in place. This, and other laser manipulations of the ions, are all done inside a small vacuum chamber.  Source: Massachusetts Digital News.   IonQ Delivers A New Architecture And Glass Quantum Computer Chip A Year…
