Bringing Interconnect to Trapped Ions – with Aharon Brodutch of IonQ
Interconnect has been a quantum computing buzzword for quite some time and with good reason. Entangling qubits between separate quantum computers is the key to scaling and building fault-tolerant systems. IonQ recently doubled down on this approach by acquiring a company that specializes in the technology. Join Host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat with Aharon Brodutch about how trapped ions will soon be talking to each other across rooms or even greater distances.
