Hello..............

Quantum computing breakthrough: UK scientists develop technique to
greatly simplify trapped ions

"We've reduced the difficulty of building a quantum computer to the
equivalent of building a classical computer. In a classical computer,
you have transistors and they apply voltage to execute a classical logic
gate," Winfried Hensinger, professor of quantum technologies at the
University of Sussex's Ion Quantum Technology Group, told IBTimes UK.

"The difficulty in engineering a large-scale machine is drastically
reduced. For the first time, you can carry out quantum gates on a
trapped ion quantum computer just using voltages," said Hensinger, who
personally believes that trapped ions will win the quantum computing
race much faster than superconducting circuits.

"This really changes entirely how you would build a trapped ion quantum
computer, it's like going from a feature phone to a smartphone. The key
advantage is the ability to engineer a machine with billions and
billions of quantum bits, that's now feasible with current technology."
