Quantum Computing

Quantum computing infrastructure refers to the specialized facilities, systems and utilities required to house and operate quantum computers. This includes highly controlled environments for power stability, temperature, vibration, noise, safety systems and advanced monitoring.

Quantum computing facilities require far stricter environmental control than traditional data centers. Quantum systems are highly sensitive to vibration, electromagnetic interference, temperature variation and power instability, making these facilities more complex to design and operate.

No. Quantum computing complements traditional computing by accelerating specific workloads that classical systems can’t efficiently solve. AI data centers and quantum computing are expected to operate together as part of broader hybrid computing environments.

Jacobs provides full lifecycle services for quantum computing projects, including master planning, facility design and engineering, owner’s engineer services, construction management, risk mitigation and digital delivery solutions.

Jacobs manages risk through early investigation, advanced modeling, integrated design teams and disciplined project controls, reducing uncertainty in complex and first-of-a-kind quantum environments.

Yes. Quantum computing facilities can be designed to scale through modular layouts, flexible infrastructure and phased expansion strategies that allow capacity to grow as technology matures.
