What are the pros/cons of Trapped Ion Qubits, Superconducting Qubits and Si Spin Qubits?

It think the (very) short answer is that there is not a preferred platform yet. This is why there are very active research communities around each of these technologies. Often if someone says ...

What are the pros/cons of Trapped Ion Qubits, Superconducting Qubits and Si Spin Qubits?

Here's a paper comparing Trapped Ion and Superconducting (the main competitors right now) from the group at UMD which compares their trapped ion system with IBM's transmon (superconducting) system. If ...
