IonQ unveiled a new data centre located in the Maryland Discovery District which was funded in part by a $ 5.5mn grant from the University of Maryland . needs to change are the quantum computers themselves since it will become necessary for quantum computer manufacturers to create rack-mounted devices that fit in naturally with a data centre .”
He continued : “ This requires shrinking down the size of the quantum computers and networking them together to increase their power .”
Remaining competitive with quantum computing infrastructure Undoubtedly , the introduction of quantum computers at scale in data centre infrastructures will , and already has started to , reshape the data centre architecture from both a networking and security perspective .
Chapman however stressed that data centres should not dramatically change in order to host these computers , he said : “ As the technology matures and the market for these systems ’ unique abilities grows , data centres are likely to need to support both classical and quantum computing approaches to remain commercially relevant ”
Jenkinson also commented on the commercial opportunities hosting quantum computing technologies , however , he added a
