DESCRIPTION:Large-scale universal quantum computers are expected to vastly
  outperform classical computers in important applications. Small-scale mac
 hines already exist in university and industry labs today\, but their usef
 ulness is limited by size and performances\, regardless of their underlyin
 g qubit technology. \n\nMoving towards broad computational advantage means
  making quantum computers better as well as begger. At Oxford Ionics we do
  this by combining the precision of atomic ions - used for the most precis
 e clocks in the known universe - with the scalability of microelectronics.
  \n\nI will motivate why trapped ions make the best qubits\, how we develo
 p large-scale quantum computers at Oxford Ionics\, and IonQ company\, base
 d on a small set of fundamental operations and simple guiding principles. 
 I will show how this enables us to demonstrate the highest performance qua
 ntum gates to date\, among all physical platforms.
