Diamonds and Ion Qubits | NextBigFuture.com

There are three major competing Quantum computer technologies for qubits. They are nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond lattices, trapped ions, and superconducting qubits. The benefit of trapped-ion systems is that the ions are inherently going to affect one another. They’re easily entangled, plus scientists can turn that interactivity on and off easily so that individual qubits don’t engage with unwanted thermal fluctuations or heat that would cause the system to decohere. IonQ and Honeywell are companies investing in and developing trapped ion quantum computers. Trapped ion qubits are clean and have a long coherence time. As a system, they are
