What a quantum computer actually does inside a data center
SMRTR summary
Quantum computers are mostly classical hardware — the actual quantum processor (about the size of a soda can) sits in a chamber cooled to near absolute zero, while surrounding systems handle refrigeration, control signals, and connections to traditional CPUs and GPUs, consuming roughly 30 kilowatts total, mostly for cooling.
