Quantum Computer Duel: Trapped Ion And Superconducting Devices Go Head-To-Head

Scientists and engineers attempting to build a scalable and efficient quantum computer normally go about it in one of the two ways — by trapping ions in magnetic fields, or by using superconducting circuits. In either case, the systems created utilize "qubits," which are quantum computing equivalent of electronic computing bits bits, existing in a state of superposition.
The question that is often asked is this — which architecture, trapped ions or a superconducting device,
