Three-dimensional Ion Traps to Enable Quantum Error Correctable and Scalable Quantum Computing

Executive Summary

We will use advanced manufacturing to construct miniaturized three-dimensional ion traps for a quantum computer with 30-times reduced quantum error rates which is beyond the break-even point for fault-tolerant quantum error correction. Error correction will enable quantum computing applications that address national security missions and support basic science.
