AQT’s trapped-ion architecture could become the basis for a German national quantum computing testbed accessible to industry and academia within two years.
AQT already builds trapped-ion quantum computers, and the funded consortium gives it a path to scale hardware and integrate with control systems and cloud access. If the engineering milestones for qubit count and a stable user interface are met on schedule, an operational testbed is a realistic near-term outcome.
