The quantum computer — what it is, how big 105 qubits really is, and the problems it cracks

01 · THE SIMPLE VERSION

Your computer flips switches.
This one bends probability.

A normal computer thinks in bits — tiny switches, each one either 0 or 1. This machine thinks in qubits. A qubit can be 0 and 1 at the same time — and qubits link together, so the whole machine acts as one giant state.

CLASSICAL · BITS

One value at a time

These eight bits hold exactly one number. To try another one, the machine has to overwrite them and start again.

// one state · one at a time
QUANTUM · QUBITS

All 256 values at once

Eight qubits hold all 256 possible values at the same time. Add one more qubit — and that number doubles.

02 · THE SCALE

Every qubit doubles the world.

Drag the slider and watch. Your laptop stops at 64. This machine goes to 105.

03 · CLASSICAL VS QUANTUM

The problems it cracks.

Some problems have too many combinations for any normal computer — they simply explode. That's where this machine wins.

Designing new materials & medicines

CHEMISTRY · BATTERIES · DRUGS
NORMAL COMPUTER
Simulating one molecule, exactly
Needs more memory than exists on Earth

Molecules follow quantum rules. Tracking them classically takes 2¹⁰⁵ numbers — billions of times all the storage humanity has ever built.

QUANTUM COMPUTER
The same molecule
Speaks its language.

The machine is quantum too — so it simply holds the molecule's state. New batteries, catalysts and drugs, modeled atom by atom.

Finding the best plan

LOGISTICS · SCHEDULING · FINANCE
NORMAL COMPUTER
Best route for just 20 delivery stops
2.4 quintillion options — 77 years

Checking a billion routes per second still takes 77 years. So normal computers settle for "good enough".

QUANTUM COMPUTER
The same routes
Sees the map as a whole

All options live in one quantum state, so the machine works on the whole landscape at once — and finds genuinely better answers.

Codes & security

ENCRYPTION · POST-QUANTUM
NORMAL COMPUTER
Breaking today's internet encryption
~Trillions of years

The internet is safe because factoring huge numbers is hopeless for normal machines — longer than the age of the universe.

QUANTUM COMPUTER
The same code, with tomorrow's quantum machines
~Hours

That's why governments, banks and labs buy quantum hardware today — to build and test the next generation of security before it's needed.

04 · UNDER THE HOOD

A journey to absolute zero.

The chip only works near absolute zero. The gold tower is a giant fridge — every floor is colder than the last, and the chip sits at the very bottom.

① Control electronics

293 K

Racks turn your program into microwave pulses — and read the answer back.

Scales 4 → 3,000 qubits

② Upper floors

77 K → 4 K

The signals descend through gold-plated stages. By the third floor, it's colder than anywhere on Earth.

Colder than any place on Earth

③ The wiring

< 1 K

Hundreds of special lines carry the signals down without carrying heat with them.

Colder than outer space

④ The chip

< 10 mK

At ten millikelvin all heat-noise dies away, superconductivity switches on — and the qubits compute.

Qubit count gets the headlines — quality is what counts: how clean every operation is, and how long the qubits last. These are real measured values from delivered machines.
