Quantum Computing Costs: A Comparison of Cryogenic and Room-Temperature Architectures
This article analyzes the significant capital and operational costs of cryogenic (superconducting) quantum computing systems, contrasting them with the cost-saving potential of room-temperature architectures like neutral-atom and ion-trap machines. It details specific cost drivers and explores strategies for cost reduction in both platforms.
