[Ipg-smz] Quantum computing question for my next short story

[Pam Baker]

Perhaps you can find a nearby (or reasonably so) location to check out
quantum computers either in the IBM Q Network
<https://www.research.ibm.com/ibm-q/network/overview/> (with many academic
institutions as members/partners). Also, check out this Fortune Magazine/IBM
video <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRaEvXF4YBg> for a quick look at
some of their Q computer prototypes.

Also, any member of the Microsoft's Quantum Network
<https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/quantum/quantum-network> can likely show
you a lot in the way of Q computer prototypes. Many are academic
institutions.

MIT also does a lot of work with quantum computing
<http://www-ctp.mit.edu/research-quantum.html>.

 I work with many of these sources in my reporting on AI, quantum
information, and quantum computing reporting. I've found them all to be
helpful albeit guarded about their specific approaches to Q computing.
