The presentation will review the fundamental functional principles of quantum information processing and provide an update on the status of the Innsbruck trapped-ion quantum computer. Using strings of trapped ions, a quantum information processor is implemented to carry out quantum operations. An overview of the available quantum toolbox will be presented and the scalability of this approach will be discussed. The quantum computing methodology will be exemplified through analog and digital quantum simulations. By utilizing the quantum toolbox for entanglement-enhanced Ramsey interferometry, optimal parameters are determined for quantum metrology. The implementation of a fault-tolerant universal set of gates will be highlighted on two logical qubits within the trapped-ion quantum computer. With Alpine Quantum Technologies, a commercially available NISQ-type quantum processor has been developed and is already accessible for industrial applications.
From laboratory to industry: how to build large quantum computers?
The field of quantum technology has seen remarkable progress over the past two decades. Recent advances have enabled the construction of quantum computers with several hundred qubits and the demonstration of quantum error correction. Nevertheless, the path towards...
