Addressing Scaling Challenges of Ion Trap Quantum Computers with Ansys Multiphysics Software

In Part 1 of our “Simulation Solutions for the Quantum Industry” webinar series, we’ll explore how Ansys simulation tools, such as Ansys Maxwell, HFSS, Lumerical, and more, address the critical challenges facing ITQC developers.

ABOUT THIS WEBINAR:

Scaling ion trap quantum computers (ITQC) requires overcoming interconnected electromagnetic, thermal, and optical challenges.

This webinar explores how Ansys simulation tools address the critical challenges facing ITQC developers:

  • Modeling of trapping potentials
  • Magnetic gradients
  • Electric field noise (Maxwell/Q3D)
  • Solving the scalability wiring challenge by analyzing signal integrity and electromagnetic compatibility for high-speed control channels and multi-layer PCBs (HFSS/SIwave/Q3D)
  • Managing heating through coupled electro-thermal analysis of power dissipation and cooling systems (Icepak)
  • Optimizing integrated laser systems and photonic interconnects (Lumerical/Zemax).

Whether you’re designing helical resonators for stable RF delivery, managing thermal loads from embedded control electronics, or modeling optical waveguides or photodetectors, this session shows how high-fidelity multiphysics modeling enables the development of fault-tolerant quantum computing systems.
