The approach uses creative waveguide patterns (bubble sort and blockwise duplication) to route multiple laser wavelengths in limited space, potentially enabling several hundred qubits on a single chip. This breakthrough addresses a key scalability challenge in trapped-ion quantum computing and may have applications in advanced optical systems beyond quantum computing. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
