Our unique MAGIC technology is a true milestone. MAGIC (MAgnetic Gradient Induced Coupling) enables us to control ion qubits with high frequency waves. Precisely, reliably and inexpensively. High frequency fields are already ubiquitous in computers and cell phones. Miniaturizable and perfectly controlled.
Individual control of qubits can be integrated into trap chips and can be done with unparalleled quality. We have already been able to demonstrate that control with our MAGIC technology does not exert any undesirable side effects on other qubits, thus significantly reducing a major source of error. The laser cooling as well as the readout of the quantum bits can be performed with much simpler lasers. Commercially available, robust and proven technology is used to control them. In principle, scaling up to more ions will pose no problems either: Miniaturized structures for trapping ions and controlling qubits can be integrated on chips.
