The 4th Asia-Pacific Workshop on Trapped Quantum Systems was successfully held
One of the most influential atomic quantum information technology conferences in the Asia-Pacific region - Asia-Pacific Workshop on Trapped Quantum Systems (APTQS) will be held from April 21 to 23, 2022. This conference was hosted by Tsinghua University, and 10 companies including TOPTICA, QUDOOR, and RIGOL participated and supported.
In addition to top research institutions from different countries and regions such as Tsinghua University, Sun Yat-sen University, Chinese University of Science and Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, National University of Defense Technology, Huawei, National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological, MIT, University of Innsbruck, KAIST, etc., the participating units also specially invited 2021 two new entrants in the field of ion trap quantum computing in 2019 - Ionics incubated by Oxford University and AQT incubated by University of Innsbruck, Austria.
Up to now, the number of participants in the field of ion trap quantum computing has increased to 8, including IonQ, Honeywell, QUDOOR, Ionics and AQT.
This conference focuses on atomic quantum information technology and its applications. In terms of ion trap quantum computing, many new technologies have attracted attention, such as high-fidelity implementation of logic gates under large-scale ion chains, and high-fidelity ion bit manipulation. The chief scientist of QUDOOR and Professor Luo Le of Sun Yat-Sen University gave a keynote speech on "Non-Hermitian Quantum Dynamics Research on Trapped Ion Qubits", and reported on the emerging non-Hermitian qubit technology in recent years.
As the chief scientist of QUDOOR, Professor Luo Le also announced the research and engineering results of QUDOOR Asia's first "turn-key" ion trap quantum computer (AbaQ), including a low-temperature vacuum system Upgrade iteration, construction of all-fiber laser system, ARTIQ and Xinchuang-based quantum measurement and control system (QuSoil) developed and released some modules, quantum computing simulation server (QuBox) software system passed Xinchuang test and became the first company to obtain Xinchuang certification Quantum computing products, etc.
In terms of participants, this conference is the one with the highest participation and the largest number of participants in China's scientific research institutions and enterprises. In terms of technology, ion trap quantum computing has made outstanding achievements, and has continuously achieved major breakthroughs in the number of physical bits, quantum volume indicators, fidelity, etc., and has taken another step forward in the application stage of quantum computing.
About APTQS
The APTQS conference is one of the core academic conferences on atomic quantum information technology in the Asia-Pacific region. It aims to conduct academic discussions on trapped quantum systems such as trapped ions, ultracold atoms and molecules, and Rydberg atoms. In 2017, Professor Luo Le of Sun Yat-sen University initiated the first Asia-Pacific Workshop on Trapped Quantum Systems, which was successfully held in Zhuhai, China. The conference built a top quantum technology research and exchange platform for the Asia-Pacific region, and was subsequently held in South Korea (the second session), Japan (the third session), and Beijing (the current session). Ion trap quantum computing has always been one of the core themes of the conference. It showcased many of the latest scientific research achievements of scholars in this field, and continues to attract experts and scholars in ion trap quantum computing technology to participate in the conference, which plays a significant role in promoting the development of global ion trap quantum technology.
