Funded Activity Summary

Quantum computing with trapped ions. Computers are the foundation of our digital economy. Quantum computing offers new and revolutionary solutions to limitations of current computers by taking advantage of quantum physics. Methods for factoring large numbers or searching unordered databases run with significantly fewer operations on quantum computers. Our research is focused on improving the speed, size and reliability of ion-trap quantum computers. Small ion-trap quantum computers have already been demonstrated and a clear roadmap exists toward large-scale quantum computation.
