We summarize the main characteristics of the quantum logic array (QLA) architecture with a careful look at the key issues not described in the original conference publications: primarily, the teleportation-based logical interconnect. The design goal of the the quantum logic array architecture is to illustrate a model for a large-scale quantum architecture that solves the primary challenges of system-level reliability and data distribution over large distances. The QLA's logical interconnect

Our physical-level assumptions and architectural component validations are based on the trapped ion technology for implementing quantum computing.
