I wonder if quantum computers were better off deployed to space.
I mean it is colder out the so it should take less energy to cool down to near 0 Kelvin.
All kinds of cargo and even space tourists are going to space anyway so that is not as high coast when amortized, as are the operating costs.

Near 0 K is required for super position states, which are distributions on a unit surface.
QPU's do not compute, they get results by deducing from multiple qubits in superposition. They work exactly and precisely as a natural phenomenon that distributes to the tuned environment.

vathpela@better.boston@jarkko it requires a lot more material - convective cooling requires heat transfer, not radiative dissipation. The temperature ratio doesn't matter so much if there's nothing to transfer the energy into.

@jarkko the extra cosmic radiation might be a hurdle. There are a handful of experiments right now investigating performance of quantum computers surrounded by lead bricks, deep underground, and at high elevations to see how much it affects performance in real-world conditions.

@Noremak My high school friend is one of the founders of a quantum computer company called IQM: https://www.meetiqm.com/. He is quantum computing professor at Aalto University in Helsinki.

@Noremak I still know nothing about physics but that was the whole point of this learning experiment because in the end of the day it must detach out of physics literature in order to be successful. Early days of semiconductor programming was also more tied to the physics so I expect similar development here.
I've studied algebra and discrete math so I know the binary side, and also vector analysis and linear algebra a bit, so combining that knowledge and thinking superposition states as base transformations helped a lot to cope the topic. It is a game of unit vector spaces with complex factors or that is how I see it like for a regular programmer (like me).

@Noremak Also surprisingly producing some music in the past also helped because also in that you tend deduce stuff from frequency distributions. And also I've written a couples of 3D engines in the past, which has helped a lot understanding unit transformations :-) Enjoyed so far because I really need to stretch all my experience to get shit together in my head (and without being a physician).
Just sharing my experiences for anyone who might give a shot in this area. The mindset with semiconductors is computing. The mindset with quantum IMHO is observation (when put to a single word).

@jarkko might that be Mikko Möttönen? I don't know him but I just read a very nice new manuscript from that Aalto University research group earlier this week.
