RQS Career Connections: Quantinuum Research into near-term applications of quantum computers

Quantinuum is pursuing the development of trapped ion quantum computers based around the so-called “QCCD architecture” pioneered at NIST.  This hardware design confers many advantages, including very high gate fidelities, low cross-talk mid-circuit measurement, and flexible qubit connectivity, but it also poses many design challenges that Quantinuum is working to overcome.  I will give an overview of what it’s like to work at Quantinuum, what types of things people here are working on, and I will discuss a variety of opportunities in simulating many-body quantum systems that the specific capabilities or our hardware have enabled.
