Quantum Hardware Costs More to Operate Than to Buy
The hardware quote is the smaller half of the number. Here is how the five-year cost of a quantum computer breaks down, and where…
Following a Hybrid Job Through a Quantum-HPC Stack
A QPU next to a supercomputer is a demonstration. A QPU inside the job queue is a resource. Here is what sits between the…
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.
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…
Six Control Points in a Rented Quantum Computer
Most organisations will rent quantum access, not own it. Six control points decide how much sovereignty survives the contract, and each one is negotiable.
Attacking Quantum Systems: The Gap Between the Proof and the Box
Every successful attack on a quantum system so far has left the physics intact and gone after the equipment. Here is the pattern, and…
Entanglement-as-a-Service: What Is Actually Being Sold
Entanglement can be delivered on demand, but it cannot be copied, amplified, or stored for long. Here is what an EaaS offer contains and…
