FAQ on Quantum Art's Breakthrough in Longest Straight and Stable 1D Trapped Ion Chain for Quantum Computing

What has Quantum Art demonstrated?

Quantum Art has demonstrated one of the longest linear ion chains ever achieved in an industry-grade quantum system, a 200-ion chain spaced at 5 microns from each other.

Why is the 200-ion chain demonstration significant?

This demonstration validates a key element of Quantum Art’s scalable, multi-core architecture and confirms the company’s ability to engineer ion traps with the quality and scale necessary for scalable quantum computing.

How did Quantum Art achieve this stable long-chain operation?

They integrated critical fabrication and environmental control elements, including precise trap geometry, extremely low heating rates, minimal stray fields, low-noise RF and DC control, and a cryogenic environment for continuous operation.

Who is behind this achievement?

Dr. Tal David, CEO and co-founder, and Dr. Amit Ben-Kish, CTO and co-founder of Quantum Art, led this breakthrough, emphasizing the company’s advanced trap engineering and system stability.

When was this demonstration announced?

The demonstration was announced on July 30, 2025, in Ness Ziona, Israel.

What are the implications of this demonstration for quantum computing?

It opens the door to future systems with 1,000-ion registers and beyond, supporting Quantum Art’s roadmap towards scalable, commercially viable quantum computing with high qubit connectivity.

How does Quantum Art’s approach compare to other trapped-ion systems?

Most trapped-ion systems top out around 30 to 50 ions, making Quantum Art’s 200-ion chain a significant advancement in scalability and stability for quantum computing.

What are Quantum Art’s next steps following this demonstration?

Quantum Art is preparing for a commercial release of its Montage system (50 qubits) and developing its Perspective platform, a 1,000 physical-qubit QPU expected by 2027.
