Welcome to Sounds of IBM.
This is the first IBM Q Computation Center
where the commercial quantum systems
used by the IBM Q Network live.
The IBM Q Network is a world-wide organization
of industrial, research, and academic institutions
joining IBM to advance quantum computing
and launch the first commercial applications.
Here we see a 20-qubit system, which will be accessed online
by members of the IBM Q Network.
In the future, they will have access to 50-qubit systems,
which IBM recently prototyped.
Listen to the tinkling whoosh the system makes
as it maintains the ultra cold, 15 millikelvin temperature
required for IBM's superconducting qubits to operate.
That's colder than outer space.
Cold enough to make atoms almost completely motionless.
This is an open dilution refrigerator
that contains the qubits of niobium, silicon, and aluminum.
It's so dark and cold inside that it's almost impossible
to find even one photon of light.
Join us and experience sounds of IBM
the IBM Q Computation Center.
