IBM says super-chill boxes that connect through 'cryogenic tunnels' will get quantum computers scaling

IBM revealed modular rectangular cryogenic cabinets—three times the size of a domestic fridge, with 0.53 sqm wiring area and 2.75 cubic meters of vacuum chamber volume—that can be connected via shielded 'cryogenic tunnels' to link multiple quantum processors.
