With the advent of very-large-scale
integration (VLSI), we have seen incredible improvements in computational power over the past four decades.
However, there are certain problems which are untenable even with the most advanced computing resources available to us today and in the foreseeable future.
A few of these key problems can be solved via a quantum computer using quantum bits (qubits). Two main problems of interest are simulating quantum
systems for chemical dynamics, and factoring large numbers for cryptography. In
the Quantum Information Systems group at GTRI, we have been working on
developing a quantum computer with trapped-ion
qubits. In this talk, I will discuss the efforts at GTRI to scale up such a quantum processor and the technical challenges that lie ahead. I will highlight novel ion trap designs, as well as
preliminary work towards elementary quantum algorithms that surpass their classical counterpart.
