The Quantum Computer

The Open Quantum Design (OQD) intellectual property (IP) includes a full stack, trapped ion quantum computer, which was developed at the Institute for Quantum Computing and Perimeter Institute’s Quantum Intelligence Lab.
OQD’s technology features novel and scalable approaches for the trapping, control, and read-out of ions. This includes a unique blade trap design, agile optical scheme for low crosstalk addressing the ions, high-fidelity and all-to-all gate connectivity, and native support for mid-circuit measurements.
All components of the stack will be open under an Apache 2.0 license (or similar) - from hardware designs and the middleware control stack, to the top level programming interfaces. OQD’s vision is to build a collaborative community for technology co-creation, in order to democratize and accelerate the benefits of quantum computing technologies for all.
Open-source is more accessible and a proven environment for innovation. By sharing resources, knowledge, and designs, a global community of participants from diverse backgrounds can contribute to and accelerate the development of quantum technologies.
OQD’s open-source approach:
