Episode 28 of The Quantum Computing Podcast with Fexingo explores a fresh angle: edge quantum computing. Lucas and Luna discuss why, instead of putting a quantum computer in every data center, companies like IonQ, Quantinuum, and Rigetti are developing compact, rack-mounted quantum processors that can operate at the edge—in factories, hospitals, and remote labs. They dive into how IonQ's 2025 Forte Enterprise system fits in a standard server rack, why Quantinuum's H2 is targeting on-premise deployment for pharma, and what Rigetti's new modular architecture means for edge. The hosts also touch on the trade-offs: smaller qubit counts, higher error rates, but massive latency and security advantages. Specific numbers include IonQ's 36 algorithmic qubits, Quantinuum's 56-qubit H2, and Rigetti's 84-qubit Ankaa-3. A donation segment naturally arises from a discussion about access to quantum hardware and the show's ad-free mission.
