We have crossed a pivotal milestone: achieving entanglement rates above 1,000 per second (1 kHz) between a trapped ion qubit and a solid-state quantum memory, using a memory-enhanced photonic interconnect.

Entanglement is the means by which separate quantum systems work together, and is the essential resource for networking quantum computers.

IonQ's technology also interfaces with almost any qubit type, which has the potential to unlock a wide range of opportunities across multiple hardware modalities—from modular computing to networked sensing and beyond.
