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

If it just wasn’t for the charged dust particles on the moon that destroy everything electronic in very short time......

“...no vibrations...”

There are apparently MoonQuakes.

I’m not sure if they are Good Vibrations or not.

It’s kind of hard to get rid of excess heat in a vacuum, Elon. But what do I know.

Of course there will be an additional 1.3 second delay in sending your queries/prompts and another 1.3 seconds in receiving output.

The heat can be dissipated into the ground.

But won't the ground heat up?

You think maybe they can dump it into the water table?

The Deep State AI algorithm will rule the world and complete the new world order. Freedom will be banned and the human race forever slaved.

Without our atmosphere to insulate us from the vacuum of space. Earth’s surface would be frozen solid..

There will be some gradient but stone should be a fairly efficient heat sink.

Temperature and heat are two different things.

From the post:

Yes, no convective heat transfer. Only radiative and conductive.

Maybe they’ll use a fluid-based heat exchanger?

Expose the tubes to deep space and bleed the heat via radiation.

I should have studied harder in physics. I got C’s.
