Researchers demonstrate integrated stabilized laser chips performing clock and quantum operations on a room temperature trapped ion qubit
UCSB and UMass Amherst researchers have demonstrated the first chip-scale, stabilized visible-light Brillouin laser that drives a trapped-ion optical clock and qubit at room temperature. The compact photonic platform achieves 99.6% SPAM fidelity with fewer pulses than table-top systems, enabling portable, scalable quantum computing, sensing, and precision timing.
