TIPICQA - COST Action CA17113
Trapped Ions: Progress in Classical and Quantum Applications
The Project
In recent years, ion traps have developed from a topic of fundamental research into a versatile tool for a wide range of research topics and quantum technologies. With the ability to isolate the ions from their environment, atomic and molecular ions can now be studied in unparalleled detail.
Trapped ions are currently the most promising implementation of quantum information processing devices, where many essential building blocks have been developed in recent years. Moreover, magnetic field sensing with high sensitivity has been demonstrated and some of today’s best atomic clocks are based on atomic ions. These applications have the potential to revolutionise many aspects of our daily life. The aim of CA17113 is to enhance the current applications of trapped ions by supporting Europe-wide collaborations and knowledge exchange, and to allow these technologies to be taken a step further towards their commercialisation.

‼️Hello ion trappers! It's time to sign up for the ARTIQ day‼️@tipicqa
https://www.iontraps.eu/events/artiq-day-april-28-2021-930-1230-and-1400-1630-cest-via-zoom/
Great to see #trappedion hardware from @IonQ_Inc running with @qiskit. The qiskit team have put tremendous effort for industry adoption with wonderful tutorials and examples. https://twitter.com/IonQ_Inc/status/1381600813412417537
We've got some great news for all of the @Qiskit users out there! To support our shared mission to democratize access to quantum computing, we've released a provider that allows you to seamlessly run Qiskit jobs on IonQ hardware. More details here: https://ionq.com/news/april-12-2021-ionq-systems-now-available-through-qiskit
⏱️ We are looking forward to the @PerkinsAstor event today. Our CEO @jfitzsimons will be in the great company of Peter Chapman from @IonQ_Inc, Winfried Hensinger from @SussexQuantum and @whurley from @Strangeworks. https://twitter.com/IonQ_Inc/status/1380256699794214915

The Astor Perkins Quarterly Series is tomorrow, April 9th! Join our President & CEO Peter Chapman and other quantum industry leaders like @jfitzsimons of @horizon_quantum and @IlanaWisby of @oxfordQCircuits for a fascinating conversation about the future: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/astor-perkins-quarterly-series-april-9-2021-all-things-space-survival-tickets-125322550121
