The quantum computer running before its park exists
Watch on YouTube In a room in Chicago, a row of large steel and aluminum cabinets looks like refrigerators. Inside is IBM’s first quantum computer in Illinois, and it is already running. Why does it need such large cabinets? Part of the answer is the cold. The system is kept cold.
In a room in Chicago, a row of large steel and aluminum cabinets looks like refrigerators. Inside is IBM’s first quantum computer in Illinois, and it is already running. Why does it need such large cabinets? Part of the answer is the cold. The system is kept at a temperature lower than that of outer space. It is called IBM Quantum System Two and is currently installed at Hyde Park Labs, a commercial research and development center at the University of Chicago. Does “currently” mean it will end up somewhere else? Yes. According to the Chicago Tribune, it is scheduled to move to the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park, a park under construction on the city’s South Side. But that site is not ready yet. So the machine is already providing a research tool while its future home remains under construction.
