Episode notes
Honeywell's Stealth Build-Out
- Honeywell entered trapped-ion quantum computing after decades helping build ion traps and related hardware.
- They stealth-built teams and facilities before publicly launching commercial systems H0 and H1.
Atoms As Nearly Perfect Qubits
- Honeywell uses ytterbium ions and electron spin as qubits, relying on atoms' natural predictability to minimize intrinsic error.
- They reduce error by controlling environmental conditions and isolating gate interactions via ion movement.
Quantum CCD Enables Clean Gates
- Honeywell implements a quantum CCD architecture that physically moves ions to isolated zones for high-fidelity gates.
- Parallel teams solved fidelity, movement, and parallelization to integrate those capabilities into a system.
