Scale up or scale out? Future quantum systems will need both. Scale up boosts density and performance within modules. Scale out links modules and distributes entanglement across them. Our new video explains why scaling up and out is important for quantum computing architectures. #QuantumComputing

What does it take for quantum computers to deliver real-world value? It requires more than bigger processors and more qubits. As systems grow, scale-out becomes increasingly important, including the ability to efficiently distribute entanglement across multiple processors.
