Heat and computers do not mix well. If computers overheat, they do not work well or may even crash. But what about the quantum computers of the future? These high-performance devices are even more sensitive to heat. This is because their basic computational units—quantum bits or “qubits”—are based on highly-sensitive units, some of them individual atoms, and heat can be a crucial interference factor.
