IonQ reports a trapped-ion link to solid-state quantum memory

IonQ says its photonic interconnect generated more than 1,000 entanglement events per second between a trapped-ion qubit and a silicon-vacancy quantum memory, eeNews Europe reports. The company describes hardware tests documented in a technical preprint and calls the rate a record. This is a reported experimental link, not a deployed network of large quantum computers; the record claim is attributed to IonQ.
