Quantum Computing's Hidden Energy Crisis
transcript

We examine the staggering electricity demand of quantum data centers, focusing on IBM’s latest cryogenic infrastructure and the physical limits of cooling qubits. As quantum processors scale from tens to thousands of qubits, the energy cost per calculation becomes a bottleneck rivaling classical supercomputers. Lucas and Luna break down the thermodynamics of dilution refrigerators, the grid constraints facing early adopters, and why the race for quantum advantage might be won by whoever solves the power problem first.
