Elon Musk revealed the future of quantum computing will be on the Moon's permanently shadowed craters
Quantum computing need extreme cold and near-perfect isolation to work
The Moon’s permanently shadowed craters offer exactly that
- Temperatures stay below −200°C, keeping qubits stable without massive Earth-based cooling systems
- No atmosphere, no weather, no day–night cycles. Hardware stays in a steady, undisturbed state
- No air, no vibrations, no human electromagnetic noise - meaning quantum information survives longer with fewer errors
The Moon is not just for exploration It is actually a perfect home for the future of computing

“The cryocooler on the James Webb Space Telescope needs around 300 watts of power to lift 55 mW of heat from 6.2K to a hot side temperature of around 300 K, which is about 80° F.”
As before, that statement shows your misunderstanding of the material you just googled.
The JWST cryocooler does not raise the helium temperature to 300 K.
The JWST helium shroud uses passive cooling to bring temperatures downt to less than 40 K. Some sources say 32 K.
The cryocooler only has do work below 40 K.
The heat can be dissipated into the ground.

Then we have global warming, damn! lol!
