Ultra-Fast Scalable Quantum Computing for Complex Material and Drug Design

digitalPrototypeTRL 3

Imagine a computer that can solve a puzzle with a million steps without getting confused or losing its place. It uses specially charged atoms trapped in space that can talk to each other almost instantly. This allows the machine to perform massive calculations much faster than current quantum attempts while keeping the information stable for a long time.
