IonQ reports quantum memory-enhanced interconnect at over 1,000 entanglement events per second

IonQ reported a photonic link between a trapped-ion system and a silicon-vacancy quantum memory that produced more than 1,000 entanglement events per second. The company says this is over four times the previous trapped-ion record. The work was done with Duke University's Chris Monroe group, and the release quotes SkyWater's quantum technology lead. It is a research demonstration, not a product release.

• More than 1,000 entanglement events per second between a trapped ion and a solid-state memory
• Over four times the previous trapped-ion record, per IonQ
• Collaboration with Duke University's Chris Monroe research group
• Fidelity and link distance not reported for this demonstration
