Trapped ions possess a number of advantages in comparison to other physical realizations. In particular, the long coherence time of trapped ions provides a basis for a correspondingly long operation time when executing quantum algorithms. The IQuAn Group (which includes Fraunhofer IOF) is pursuing a new, scalable approach with high qubit connectivity. By moving and regrouping the ions, the individual optical addressing of small registers is combined with the coupling and the dynamic configuration of multiple registers.
