This development is a critical prerequisite for the 'quantum internet' and modular quantum computing. By breaking the physical size limits of a single chip through remote entanglement, it enables the scaling of quantum computational power via distributed, networked architectures.
Verified claims
Achieved the first photonic interconnection between two separate, independent trapped-ion quantum systems.
Demonstrated the ability to use photons to generate and transmit entanglement between remote, commercial-grade quantum computers.
