The »Advanced quantum computing with trapped ions« (AQTION for short) group was set up in 2018, with the objective of driving applied research on quantum computing in the European Union. The initiative forms part of the EU’s Quantum Technologies Flagship program. The object of the project is to realize a scalable ion-based quantum computer. Fraunhofer IOF researchers have developed innovative optics and laser technology for the 19-inch quantum computer.
