IonQ’s Research & Development team achieves
first known commercial demonstration of ion-photon entanglement, a
key technical milestone for networking quantum computers
IonQ (NYSE: IONQ), a leader in the quantum computing industry,
today announced it has generated photons entangled with ions
repeatedly and reproducibly, creating a quantum state which allows
future quantum systems to communicate and transfer information
between each other. This achievement marks the first known
commercial demonstration of ion-photon entanglement outside of
academic environments. This major step towards quantum networking
and photonic interconnects will play an integral part in helping
IonQ deliver significantly higher computational power in
next-generation systems.
“We are proud to share this first major step towards connecting
quantum systems and developing IonQ’s first networked quantum
computer,” said Pat Tang, Vice President, Research &
Development at IonQ. “This brings us one step closer to achieving
commercial quantum advantage by running deeper, more complex
circuits, and lays the foundation to develop future quantum
applications and quantum networking solutions.”
IonQ's research team demonstrated the generation and collection
of single photons from an ion qubit, successfully routing those
photons to specialized detection optics used to verify ion-photon
entanglement across this network. The work represents a crucial
first step towards developing photonic interconnect protocols for
quantum computing applications running across multiple quantum
processing units (QPUs). While similar achievements are well
documented in academia, today’s results are a testament to how
technology can transfer efficiently from research settings into
commercial real-world environments. More details on our achievement
and approach are in our blog post.
Currently, classical supercomputers distribute workloads across
multiple cores and processors to operate in parallel. In contrast,
quantum networks entangle cores to form a single, more powerful
quantum computer capable of running complex algorithms. Photonic
interconnects will lead to integrated computation across quantum
networks, not just communication between siloed parts as seen in
classical setups.
Today’s announcement marks the latest effort by IonQ to build
the infrastructure needed to support a future quantum network. Last
year, IonQ acquired Canada-based startup Entangled Networks to
expand IonQ’s expertise for running computations across multiple
distributed quantum processors. Additionally, the Company expanded
its Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) relationship with a $25.5M deal
to deploy two quantum computing systems for quantum networking
research and development.
IonQ’s quantum systems are available through the cloud on Amazon
Braket, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, as well as through
direct API access. To learn more about how you can get started on
