Why Do Quantum Computers Look Like This?

Every wonder why a #quantum computer looks like a giant metal chandelier?

In this video, we delve into the intricate workings of a #QuantumComputer, focusing on the essential components that make it all possible. From the cryogenic #DilutionRefrigerator that cools the system down to a frigid 10 millikelvin, to the superconducting qubit chip at the heart of quantum processing, we explain how each part plays a crucial role in enabling computations with minimal energy. We also explore the cables, #Amplifiers, and control #electronics that bridge the gap between the quantum world and classical interfaces. Whether you're new to #QuantumComputing or looking to deepen your understanding, this video offers a comprehensive overview of how these cutting-edge machines operate.

The explanation of the dilution refrigerator and its role in quantum computing is fascinating. The fact that it's 100 times colder than deep space really puts the engineering challenges into perspective.

Bro came back with another banger of a video! Great job man!

[tomarmadiyer]

First time finding the channel but I'm looking forward to watching this helium blends video

[elbarto]

I really love how they look like a chandelier

[lathikamihiranga]

Good timing! Currently reading Michio Kaku's book on quantum supremacy

[Anthony-ymiz]

Really Interesting. I’ve always wanted to know why the copper cables have loops or bends in them. Anyone know?

[AbsolutelyNoOne]

How big is a qubit? If it’s a resonator can it be made bigger that what it currently is? And would that be more stable to perturbations from the outside?

[mharshanthram]

Also another property of the cables is that they are non magnetic, especially if they carry low frequency signal for flux line

[mharshanthram]

Hi, can you link the paper where the exact qubit design mentioned above is used for experiments like performing two qubit gates. It is interesting because the flux lines to the resonator tune it's frequency, but usually resonators don't have Josephson Junction elements.

Lukas...quick question: are you now working on quantum computers? If not, are you planning to. Just curious.
