The QuEra 3,000-Qubit System utilizes a unique neutral atom core, specifically over 3,000 rubidium atoms confined in a high-vacuum chamber, which serves as its foundational qubit structure. Operating at room temperature, this design eliminates the costly cryogenic infrastructure typically required by superconducting quantum computers, making it more accessible and sustainable. A standout feature is the Field-Programmable Qubit Array (FPQA), allowing users to dynamically adjust qubit arrangements via software. This flexibility enables the system to tackle a variety of computational challenges without necessitating physical alterations to the hardware. Additionally, the zoned processing architecture enhances efficiency by segmenting the system into specialized areas for storage, entanglement generation, and readout operations, each optimized for its specific function. This architecture not only supports high coordination numbers—allowing each qubit to connect with up to six neighbors—but also ensures that the system can be scaled and upgraded as necessary, paving the way for future advancements.
