Will Magnetic Cooling Replace the Dilution Refrigerator?
Magnetic cooling reaches the same millikelvin temperatures as a dilution refrigerator and needs no helium-3. Cooling power at that temperature, not base temperature, decides…
The Quantum Software Stack Is a Real-Time Systems Problem
There is no quantum operating system yet. Reading the stack by deadline rather than by layer shows why, and shows where the engineering work…
The Four Seams of a Modular Quantum System
Open architecture only works where the interfaces do. Here are the four boundaries in a quantum system that an architect has to specify, test,…
Quantum-as-a-Service: How Access Actually Works
Shots, tasks, queues, transpilation and reserved time. A walk through the full access path from credentials to returned counts, with a worked shot budget.
What Modular Quantum Computing Changes for Buyers
Open architecture gives buyers a third option between a sealed system and a do-it-yourself build. It also moves integration risk onto the purchase order.
Architecting for Quantum Cloud Workloads
A quantum processor reached over a network behaves unlike any accelerator you have integrated before. Four placement patterns, and the arithmetic that picks between…
Quantum Open Architecture and the Case for Modularity
Modular quantum computers are now real purchases. The decision that matters is not open versus closed, but where the interfaces go and who is…
What Quantum Systems Integration Actually Involves
Open architecture turned the quantum computer into a set of parts. Someone still has to assemble them and connect the result to the infrastructure…
The Three Budgets Behind Every Quantum Control System
Quantum control systems are usually described by their parts. Engineers get further by describing them by their budgets: timing, noise, and wiring.
The Machine That Breaks Encryption Won’t Be One Chip
Threat assessments still track one qubit count on one processor. The machine that matters for cryptography looks more like a data center than a…
