Abstract
Quantum computing is rapidly advancing, with diverse hardware platforms vying to overcome the challenges of scalability, coherence, and error correction. This talk provides an overview of the leading quantum computing hardware platforms, with a particular focus on neutral atoms and trapped ions—two of the most promising approaches in the field. Neutral atom systems leverage ultra-cold atoms trapped in optical tweezers, offering excellent scalability and long coherence times, while trapped ions utilize precisely controlled atomic ions confined by electromagnetic fields, achieving high-fidelity gate operations and low error rates. We will compare the strengths and challenges of these platforms, highlighting recent breakthroughs in qubit control, entanglement generation, and error correction. By exploring the unique advantages of neutral atoms and trapped ions, this talk aims to provide a gentle peek into their potential to enable scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computing.
