This is the best summary I could come up with:
The machine, a white cylinder hanging inside a suspended metal frame surrounded by piping and the rhythmic chirping of a cooling system, fills nearly an entire room.
They leverage the properties of small particles, which can exist in multiple places at once, to, one day, when the technology is more refined, process information far faster than even the strongest supercomputers.
There are few people who understand quantum computers well enough to use them — let alone build them, according to Alireza Najafi-Yazdi, the CEO of Anyon Systems, the Montreal-based company that designed and built MonarQ.
But the technology is such that, one day, researchers expect quantum computers will solve in seconds problems which currently take supercomputers years or even decades when calculating at their fastest speeds.
The scientists involved with the IBM Quantum One system in Bromont are hoping to leverage the computer's power to solve problems related to sustainability and climate change.
MonarQ will soon leave Anyon, making its way from the Dorval industrial park to Calcul Quebec's headquarters at the École de technologie supérieure — a delicate operation considering the fragility and complexity of the computer.
