Trapped Ion Quantum Computer

Quantum computers are still in their early developmental stages, but there is a lot of potential for quantum technology to change the way we process information. One promising type of quantum computer is the trapped ion quantum computer.

Trapped ion quantum computers use ions (charged atoms) as their quantum bits, or qubits. The ions are trapped in a vacuum and held in place by electric fields. The strength of the electric fields can be controlled to keep the ions in place and allow them to interact with each other.

The ions are manipulated using lasers, which can be used to …

Google Quantum Computer D Wave

What is Google Quantum Computer D Wave?

D-Wave Systems is a Canadian company that produces quantum computers. In 2013, Google purchased a D-Wave Two quantum computer, which is the world’s first commercially available quantum computer.

How does Google Quantum Computer D Wave work?

D-Wave quantum computers use a specific type of quantum mechanics known as adiabatic quantum computing. In adiabatic quantum computing, the quantum state of a system is changed gradually, in a way that is reversible. This gradual change is known as an adiabatic process.

Adiabatic quantum computing is especially well-suited for solving optimization problems. An optimization problem is …
