Universal Quantum has launched the iQPU, a foundry-fabricated trapped-ion processor designed for modular scaling. This integrated quantum processing unit aims to eliminate wiring bottlenecks in large-scale trapped-ion systems by integrating control electronics directly on-chip and using a proprietary interconnect technology called UQConnect to link multiple iQPU modules. The iQPU will be used in two quantum computers for the German Aerospace Center (DLR) to address challenges in space mission planning, climate modeling, and materials design.
