Blueprint for a microwave trapped-ion quantum computer

Understand

The availability of a universal quantum computer will have fundamental impact on a vast number of research fields and society as a whole.

• An increasingly large scientific and industrial community is working towards the realization of such a device.
• An arbitrarily large quantum computer is best constructed using a modular approach.
• We present a blueprint for a trapped-ion based scalable quantum computer module which makes it possible to create a scalable quantum computer architecture based on long-wavelength radiation quantum gates.
