一款具有全连通性的98量子比特阱离子量子计算机

近日,美国Quantinuum公司Anthony Ransford团队报道了一款具有全连通性的98量子比特阱离子量子计算机。该项研究成果发表在2026年6月17日出版的《自然》杂志上。
量子计算机需要同时具备高保真度操作和大量量子比特,才能超越经典计算能力。阱离子平台已展现出所有技术路线中最高的门保真度,但在保持性能的同时扩展到更多量子比特数仍是一项核心挑战。
研究组报道了Quantinuum Helios,一款基于量子电荷耦合器件(QCCD)架构的98量子比特阱离子量子处理器。Helios采用137Ba+超精细量子比特,通过一个可旋转的离子存储环连接两个量子操作区,并由一个结区实现全连通性,通过并行化操作提升了速度,并配备了支持动态程序实时编译的新型软件栈。
在整个系统的所有操作区上取平均,研究组实现了单量子比特(1Q)门平均不保真度2.5(1)×10-5,双量子比特(2Q)门平均不保真度7.9(2)×10-4,以及态制备与测量(SPAM)平均不保真度3.3(5)×10-4,这些指标均未达到基本原理限制,有望进一步改善。这些组件不保真度能够预测系统级性能,无论是随机克利福德线路还是随机线路采样(RCS),后者表明Helios的运行性能远超经典模拟能力,为量子计算机的保真度和复杂度确立了新的前沿。

Abstract: Quantum computers require both high-fidelity operations and large qubit numbers to surpass classical capabilities1. Trapped-ion platforms have demonstrated the highest gate fidelities of any modality2,3,4,5,6 but scaling to larger qubit numbers while preserving performance has remained a central challenge. We report on Quantinuum Helios, a 98-qubit trapped-ion quantum processor based on the quantum charge-coupled device (QCCD) architecture7. Helios features 137Ba+ hyperfine qubits8,9, all-to-all connectivity enabled by a rotatable ion storage ring connecting two quantum operation regions by a junction10,11, speed improvements from parallelized operations12 and a new software stack with real-time compilation of dynamic programs13. Averaged over all operational zones in the system, we achieve average infidelities of 2.5(1)×105 for single-qubit (1Q) gates, 7.9(2)×104 for two-qubit (2Q) gates and 3.3(5)×104 for state preparation and measurement (SPAM), none of which are fundamentally limited and probably able to be improved. These component infidelities are predictive of system-level performance in both random Clifford circuits and random circuit sampling (RCS), the latter demonstrating that Helios operates well beyond the reach of classical simulation and establishes a new frontier of fidelity and complexity for quantum computers14.
