Modular quantum computation in a trapped ion system

Modern computation relies on modular architectures, breaking a complex algorithm into self-contained subroutines, whereas current quantum computers do not have such capability. Here, the authors provide an experimental demonstration of a modular quantum computation protocol using a trapped Yb ion.
