Quantum megaquop systems need data center upgrades

The author argues that achieving higher reliability in quantum computing, such as megaquop and gigaquop systems, will fundamentally change how quantum systems integrate into broader data center infrastructure. While higher operation counts will unlock complex simulations in materials science and chemistry, they will also require complex heterogeneous environments involving classical computing, power, cooling, and networking. Organizations should begin evaluating these infrastructure requirements and workloads now in preparation for future quantum capacity. Open article →
