Insider Brief IBM and IonQ use very different physical systems to build quantum computers. IBM uses superconducting circuits that must be cooled to extremely low temperatures, while IonQ traps charged atoms using electromagnetic fields. Both approaches can create and control quantum states, but they come with different engineering challenges. Building a useful qubit is difficult […]
