A quantum computer can be an ungainly thing, because even the most elegant qubit-housing cryostat usually sprouts a thicket of control cables.Most qubits don’t work above a fraction of a degree above absolute zero, but the conventional electronics that control the qubits don’t work in the cryogenic cold. Hence connecting cables need to route information out of the cryostat. The more qubits a computer has, the more cables it needs. More than an eyesore, this overgrowth is a problem for scaling qu
