Comparing Superconducting vs Trapped Ion Architectures

IBM and Google are betting big on superconducting qubits, while Quantinuum and IonQ use trapped ions. Which approach do you think will reach 1,000 logical qubits first?

Reliable scaling is the only metric that matters now. If the interconnect bandwidth doesn't improve, these T2 times are just academic benchmarks.

Scaling this beyond 100 qubits requires a serious rethink of the coaxial routing. Have you considered using monolithic 3D integration with through-silicon vias?

Wait, the cross-talk numbers in this comparison look highly optimistic. Was this measured under simultaneous gate operations or in isolation?
