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.

Quantum Well Interband Semiconductor Lasers Highly Tolerant To Dislocations | “III-V semiconductor lasers integrated on Si-based photonic platforms are eagerly awaited by the industry for mass-scale applications, from interconnect to on-chip sensing. The current understanding is that only quantum dot lasers can reasonably operate at the high dislocation densities generated by the III-V-on-Si heteroepitaxy, which induces high non-radiative carrier recombination rates. Here we propose a strategy based on a type-II band alignment to fabricate quantum well lasers highly tolerant to dislocations. A mid-IR GaInSb/InAs interband cascade laser grown on Si exhibits performances similar to those of its counterpart grown on the native GaSb substrate, in spite of a dislocation density in the 108cm−2 range. Over 3800 h of continuous-wave operation data have been collected, giving an extrapolated mean time to failure exceeding 312,000 h. This validates the proposed strategy and opens the way to new integrated laser development.” Source: SEMICONDUCTORENGINEERING.

Multiport based teleportation – transmission of a large amount of quantum information | We analyse the problem of transmitting a number of unknown quantum states or one composite system in one go.
