Scientists have achieved a record-low quantum error rate of 0.000015% using trapped ions and room temperature operation, significantly advancing the potential for practical quantum computers by reducing the need for extensive error correction and enabling more efficient, smaller, and faster quantum devices.
Researchers at Tsinghua University have developed a scalable and programmable quantum phononic processor with trapped ions that could enable better performances on complex problems. The system is a programmable bosonic network, consisting of a set of bosonic modes connected to each other via controllable beam splitters. The phononic quantum processor has several advantages over previously proposed bosonic networks, including deterministic input and output preparation and minimal loss of phonons over time. The researchers hope to scale up the system to achieve large-scale and programmable boson sampling and demonstrate quantum advantage over classical computing.
