IBM proposes cryogenic tunnels for scalable quantum computer architecture

IBM is developing a new approach to scaling quantum computers by utilizing cryogenic tunnels to connect multiple quantum processing units (QPUs). This method aims to overcome the limitations of current single-chip quantum systems by enabling a modular architecture. The company believes this 'super-chill box' design will allow for more powerful and scalable quantum computing solutions in the future. AI
