IonQ and Duke wired a trapped ion to a diamond quantum memory, achieving 1.03 kHz entanglement. The link produces one Bell pair per millisecond and is four times faster than the previous best ion-ion photonic link.
Key points
Entanglement rate: 1.03 kHz.
Bell pair generation: one per millisecond.
Speed improvement: 4× previous best ion-ion photonic link.
