Abstract

Abstract:

Distributed quantum computing with trapped ions is a quantum computing model which takes intermediate-sized trapped ion processors as computing nodes, and connects each computing node through ion-photon entanglement. It is expected to obtain a wide range of application scenarios, such as solving problems computationally demanding in the fields of finance, chemistry, cryptography, and so on, breaking through the limitations of existing methods in these fields. This paper briefly introduces the principle and current status of distributed trapped-ion quantum computing, the possible direction of future development, and application scenarios.

Key words: quantum computing, distributed quantum computing with trapped ions, ion-photon entanglement, distributed quantum algorithm
