just stumbled onto some interesting theory about why moving from 1d to 2d architectures might solve the scaling bottleneck for trapped-ion systems. instead of linear chains, these 2d grids allow for much more complex connectivity w/o the instruction overhead found in
linear_array_v1
. it seems like
massive scalability is finally within reach if we can stabilize the planar traps, tho
hardware noise remains a huge hurdle.
i still bet 1d will be the last thing to die outfull read:
