Exploits quantum mechanical effects Built around “qubits” rather than “bits” Operates in an extreme environment Enables quantum algorithms to solve very hard problems What is a Quantum Computer? Quantum Processor
Power and Cooling • Closed cycle dilution refrigerator (“fridge”) • Fridge + servers consume 15.5kW • Power demand will remain constant as we scale up to thousands of qubits
Processor Environment • Cooled to 0.02 Kelvin, 150x colder than interstellar space • Shielded to 50,000× less than Earth’s magnetic field • On low vibration floor • 168 i/o and control lines from room temperature to the chip
