Looking at the mess regarding GPU and ram, I start to wonder whether we’d be able to produce enough supra conductors and have enough helium to support quantum computers leaving research lab and being industrialised?

While I doubt quantum computer would be massively produced, I am not sure how much materials are needed for a quantum processor compared to let’s say, an MRI to take the most common supra conducting machine

    Modern cryostats don’t need a constant supply of helium because they work on a closed-cycle principle in the same way your fridge does.
