🚀 New Paper Announcement! (Accpted for publication at HPCA2026)

We’re excited to introduce Cyclone (arxiv.org/abs/2511.15910) an efficient, highly parallel architectural design for QCCD-based quantum devices aimed at enabling dense, fault-tolerant quantum memory.
Cyclone: Designing Efficient and Highly Parallel QCCD Architectural Codesigns for Fault Tolerant Quantum Memory
Modular trapped-ion quantum computing hardware, known as QCCDs require shuttling operations in order to maintain effective all-to-all connectivity. Each module or trap can perform only one operation a...
