ORNL Ion Trap Program Overview

Trapped ion quantum platforms are robust, well-controlled, and well-understood systems in the field of quantum information science (QIS) [1]. For example, these devices have been used to simulate spin chains to probe magnetic phase transitions and execute digital quantum algorithms for simulations in multiple science domains [2]. With the onset of quantum computers that can run small algorithms, domain scientists have begun testing the efficacy of these devices to deliver useful scientific results, driving strong demand for quantum computers and simulation devices. Multiple quantum computer programming stack development, algorithm development, benchmarking, simulation, computation, sensing, and general quantum computer science projects all started within the last several years at ORNL; demand for quantum resources on-site is rapidly expanding. Here, we provide an overview of the growing trapped ion QIS program and platforms at ORNL.
