Quantum Error Correction and Scaling with Trapped-Ions

Audience: researchers in the topic

Comments: Quantinuum's quantum processors use the quantum charge-coupled device (QCCD) architecture with trapped-ion qubits to deliver leading performance with high-fidelity gates and all-to-all connectivity. As we look towards performing more complex algorithms that require vast numbers of operations, it will be necessary to develop quantum error correction (QEC) to reduce error below the physical level. Recent QEC results using Quantinuum's processors have demonstrated logical error rates significantly below the physical level signifying a transition towards reliable quantum computing. This talk will provide an overview of the QCCD trapped-ion architecture, present QEC results demonstrating better-than-physical error rates, and discuss the future scaling of Quantinuum's processors.
