IonQ announces milestone in quantum logic gates

IonQ (IONQ) announced a milestone in the development of high-speed, mixed-species quantum logic gates for trapped-ion quantum computing and networking. The company said the findings further the company’s momentum in driving scalable, high-fidelity quantum networking and distributed quantum computing. Detailed in a new paper written by IonQ scientists and co-authored with Australian National University, the research shows a novel approach to achieving an orders-of-magnitude increase in physical gate speed of two-qubit gates between different atomic species.
