Example Concept: Trapped ions, which use electromagnetic fields to confine ions, typically experience decoherence primarily due to motional heating and magnetic field fluctuations. In contrast, superconducting qubits, which rely on Josephson junctions, are more susceptible to decoherence from charge noise, flux noise, and dielectric loss. The coherence times for trapped ions are generally longer due to their isolation from environmental noise, whereas superconducting qubits benefit from rapid gate operations that can help mitigate the effects of shorter coherence times.
