Honeywell on a quantum computer based on shuffling Ions

Quantum computers will revolutionize the way the world operates in the future, and as new technologies come up improving upon quantum computers we take a step forward in that said future.

Recently Honeywell has developed a system of trapped-ion qubits on Honeywell's QCCD architecture.

Trapped ion qubits were first used in 1995 for implementation of quantum logic gates, and QCCD, Quantum Charged Couple Device, was first developed in 2002, it shuffles qubits around which controls the actions and now Honeywell has shown interests in trapped ion bits, in which they released a paper on QCCD architecture, which is an advanced trapped ion architecture that allows arbitrary movement of ions and parallel gat operations across multiple zones.

Future Honeywell's Quantum processors will be based on this QCCD architecture. The H1 models use Ytterbium-171 ions as Qubits which are cooled to a quantum ground state by Barium-138 ions, using a process called sympathetic cooling in which particles of one type cool particles of another type, this is used to cool ions and atoms which cannot be cooled by laser cooling. 

Researchers produce a set of gates to perform universal quantum logic,  in which they created a teleported CNOT gate, which allows for non-destructive mid-circuit measurement, which is used for quantum error correction, which offers a viable path for the construction of large quantum computers.

The H1 Model, uses the same linear device as its previous model, H0, but can now have 10 computational qubits connected to it, H0 was only able t hold 6 Qubits, and H1 produces correct results 99.5% of the time every 100 operations and ≥99.97% fidelities for a single qubit gate, and according to Honeywell's roadmap, H1 can accommodate up to 40 ion qubits, which just means more computational power.

Quantum volume is a hardware-agnostic performance measurement for gate based quantum computers, and H1 came up with a quantum volume of 128, which sets a new record in the industry, for reference the Google's quantum computer had a quantum volume of 32, and Honeywell says that by 2025 they will improve to a QV of 640,000.

These results are on the Honeywell website.

And now with expectations of the Honeywell model H1, there would be a large increase in numbers of Qubits with every new generation.
