The company says this is over four times faster than the previous trapped-ion interconnect record held by Chris Monroe's Duke University group, and positions the result as a step toward networked, distributed quantum data centers. The work ties into IonQ's role in DARPA's HARQ program and follows commercial quantum networking system sales to the University of Maryland and South Korea's SDT. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What entanglement rate did IonQ achieve between a trapped-ion qubit and a solid-state quantum memory? IonQ demonstrated entanglement rates exceeding 1,000 events per second (1 kHz) between a trapped-ion qubit and a silicon-vacancy solid-state quantum memory, connected via a photonic interconnect. The company states this is more than four times faster than the previous trapped-ion interconnect record, previously held by Chris Monroe's research group at Duke University. _Developers tracking quantum networking progress can follow hardware milestones like this one on daily.dev._ ### Why combine a trapped-ion qubit with a silicon-vacancy quantum memory for quantum networking? Trapped-ion qubits offer the best qubit coherence while silicon-vacancy solid-state memory couples very efficiently to light, so pairing them gives a photonic interconnect that is both stable and fast. IonQ says this combination addresses a key interconnect bottleneck for scaling quantum computers into networked, distributed systems similar to how classical data centers scale. _Anyone comparing quantum hardware approaches can keep up with interconnect research like this via daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev -
