Welcome to the edge of invention

This is where you find technology as pioneering as your own work. For us, quantum computing isn’t the next big thing; it’s the next big everything. That’s why our AI and ML-infused solutions give you the power to do more. Click on the numbered points to see how it all comes together.

The Machine

1Shell

When the computer is operational, five casings (like the white one shown at the top of the image) envelop the machine. These cans nest inside each other and act as thermal shields, keeping everything super cold and vacuum-sealed inside.

2Nerves

These photon-carrying cables deliver signals to and from the chip to drive qubit operations and return the measured results.

3Heart

Beneath the heat exchangers sits the “mixing chamber.” Inside, different forms of liquid helium—­helium-3 and helium-4—separate and evaporate, diffusing the heat.

4Skeleton

These gold plates separate cooling zones. At the bottom, they plunge to one-hundredth of a Kelvin—hundreds of times as cold as outer space.

5Brain

The QPU (quantum processing unit) features a gold-plated copper disk with a silicon chip inside that contains the machine’s brain.
