Remarkable progress has been made in programmable quantum computers based on trapped ion technology, Quantum computing is moving out of the research labs and starting to attract real-world problems in various areas of science and industry. Flexible architectures enabled by trapped ion systems are leading the way in discovering new ways to tackle interesting real-world problems. In this talk, I will discuss the novel innovations made in recent years on developing high performance quantum computers and solutions to practical problems using trapped ion systems.
