Oxford Ionics, a subsidiary of the University of Oxford, has developed a new high-performance quantum chip that surpasses all previous achievements in the field of quantum computing. This innovation can be manufactured in modern semiconductor factories, and according to the company’s forecast, the first practical quantum computers will be available to the public in just three years.
Oxford Ionics uses a new approach using trapped ions for quantum computing.
Typically, the control of trapped ions is done using lasers, but at Oxford Ionics, they have developed an electronic method to achieve this effect — «electronic qubit control». The company has successfully integrated all the necessary elements for controlling trapped ions into a silicon chip, which can be manufactured at any modern semiconductor production facility.
