Quantum Computing Project: Ion Trap-Based Quantum Computers

The project focuses on advancing ion trap technology for digital-analog quantum computing. It aims to develop and optimize methods for controlling individual ions as qubits, which are essential for complex quantum calculations. The initiative, led by the German Aerospace Center (DLR), seeks partners from industry and research to collaborate on the project. Key areas of research include Digitized Adiabatic Quantum Computing (DAQC) and Digital-Analog Quantum Computing (DAQ), which combine the precision of digital control with the efficiency of analog systems. The project also emphasizes co-design elements to integrate hardware and software development, ultimately aiming to create more efficient and scalable quantum computers. Interested suppliers can participate directly in the project or through technology transfer. Further details can be found in the attached performance description.
