The Hardening Decisions an Operator Has to Make
Eight hardening decisions that constrain a quantum computer's floor plan, network diagram, and hiring plan. All of them are cheaper to make before the…
Cryogenic Infrastructure: The First Decision in a Superconducting Build
Three cryogenic constraints set the ceiling on any superconducting quantum build: fridge lead time, the helium-3 supply chain, and the I/O wiring wall. Sequence…
Preparing a Facility for a Quantum Computer
A quantum computer is a building problem before it is a physics problem. What the site survey measures, which four sign-offs the schedule depends…
What It Takes to Build a Quantum Computer
A quantum computer is assembled by six engineering trades, only one of which is quantum physics. Here is what each of them does, and…
