Technology demands of the modern world

As the world becomes progressively connected with many aspects of our everyday lives being improved through technological advancements, energy consumption and infrastructure capabilities have begun to grapple the ever-increasing demand of global internet traffic powered by classical compute and the growing inclusion of AI.

To address the pressing environmental concerns surrounding data centres and the energy consumption of services within them, there is a clear emphasis on sustainable practices: including energy efficient hardware, innovative cooling systems, and renewable energy sources.

Key terms

Hybrid compute:
Quantum computers and classical systems working as co-processors alongside one another, carrying out computational workload.

Colocation data centre:
A distinct type of data centre which leases space to a client company to store their infrastructure, allowing for different computing modalities and services to be colocated.

Dimon:
A multimode qubit, also described as an artificial atom or as being like two qubits in the space of one.
