IonQ photonically links two trapped-ion quantum systems, demonstrating networked quantum computers
  • IonQ demonstrated a photonic interconnect that linked two independent trapped-ion quantum systems, marking its first networked setup among remote quantum processing units.
  • Test validated generation, transmission, and detection of photons to create entanglement between two commercial IonQ quantum computers at a distance.
  • Result supports IonQ strategy to scale beyond single-processor limits using modular, distributed architectures aimed at fault-tolerant systems.
  • Work was partially funded through an agreement with Air Force Research Laboratory under case number AFRL-2026-1742.
