      "summary_nl": "Gevangen ionen vormen de meest betrouwbare quantum computers op dit moment. Het blijkt echter lastig om het systeem op te schalen naar grote hoeveelheden ionen. Om dit op te lossen gaan we gebruik maken van qudits in plaats van qubits. Qubits zijn de quantum tegenhanger van de bit, die twee waardes kan aannemen. Qudits kunnen meer dan twee waardes aannemen, zodat we meer quantum informatie per ion krijgen. We zulllen een ion gebruiken met een grote kernspin, die tot nu toe niet gebruikt is voor quantum computers. Om de qudits te laten wisselwerken gebruiken we optische pincetten.",
      "summary_en": "Trapped ions are among the most accurate quantum computers to date. However, scaling up the system to include many ions has proven hard. We will improve the scalability by encoding qudits in the ions, instead of the usual qubits. In this way, each ion can carry more quantum information. To do so, we will use an ion species with a large nuclear spin, that can encode many qudit states. This ion has not been used before in trapped ion quantum computing. We will use state-of-the-art optical tweezers to implement quantum operations between the qudits.",
