3D-printing could make it easier to make large quantum computers

As quantum computers get larger, they may become truly useful – 3D-printing a key component of some quantum computers may make it easier to build larger arrays of qubits to make them more powerful

3D printing could improve the future of large scale quantum computers

Miniaturised ion traps built with 3D printing may be the key to creating more powerful quantum machines Researchers continue to push the boundaries of computing, and quantum computers continue to stand out as a transformative technology. However, to unlock their full potential, these machines need to become significantly larger. A breakthrough in 3D printing technology may provide the most critical piece needed to scale up quantum computers by c…
