Quantum Stack

[↑] IBM’a Quantum Computer is a 20 qubit work of art. All of the parts are nestled inside a 9-foot cube made with half-inch-thick borosilicate glass

Quantum Stack

[↑] The front and back "doors" can open simultaneously, giving engineers access to the quantum computer at the front and the various cooling and control modules hidden behind a rear panel

Quantum Stack

[↑] Opening both doors would cause the cube to tip over, rather like a sloping parallelogram -- so the cube is also reinforced by a series of independent aluminum and steel frames. These ensure structural integrity while minimizing vibrations and other potential interference

[↑] Herman Hollerith invented puchcards for tabulation after the data of 1880 censust took 8 years to be processed. The term "Super Computing" was first used in 1931 to refer to a large custom-built tabulator that IBM made for Columbia University.

The Space Shuttle originally operated with IBM AP-101 computers

[↑] The Space Shuttle originally operated with IBM AP-101 computers with 424 kB of magnetic core memory each. In 1990, and until the end of the program, computers were replaced with an AP-101S, with 2.5 times the capacity, or 1 MB, less than the average MP3
