When Will Quantum Computers Be Available to the Public?

Quantum Computers Are Already Publicly Accessible — Through Cloud Platforms

SpinQuanta operates a cloud platform—SpinQuanta Cloud—that provides access to multiple real quantum processors and high-performance simulators.

The platform connects users to 2-qubit, 3-qubit, 5-qubit, and 8-qubit devices, as well as a 24-qubit simulator.

This means:

• Students,

• Researchers,

• Developers,

• Educators,

Can already run real quantum algorithms online, without owning hardware.

Physical Quantum Computers Are Available Today — But for B2B, Not Consumers

Based on the documents, SpinQuanta already manufactures and sells real quantum computers, including:

Educational-grade NMR quantum computers

• Portable models such as SPINQ Gemini Mini/Mini Pro,

• Classroom-ready platforms like SPINQ Gemini Lab,

• Desktop 3-qubit systems such as SPINQ Triangulum Ⅱ.

These devices are currently delivered to:

• Universities

• Research labs

• Training centers

• Educational institutions

They are designed for teaching, demonstrations, and research—not consumer home use.

Industrial-grade superconducting quantum computers

SpinQuanta also produces:

• The SPINQ SQC superconducting quantum computer
• The "ShaoWei" superconducting quantum chip series
• High-precision quantum measurement & control systems

These systems are deployed in enterprise, scientific, and industrial environments, not consumer settings.

Why Quantum Computers Aren't Consumer Devices Yet

Quantum hardware requires extremely specialized infrastructure:

• Superconducting systems require cryogenic environments at 20 mK (millikelvin).
• High-precision electronics and vibration-isolated experimental setups.
• Professional expertise to operate and maintain the systems.

Because of these requirements, quantum computers are unlikely to become home devices in the foreseeable future. Instead, their access model will remain cloud-based.

Public Access Will Expand Through Cloud Platforms — Not Home Devices

Based on SpinQuanta's strategic goals outlined in the documents, the company's mission is to industrialize and democratize quantum computing.

This will happen through:

• More powerful cloud-based quantum systems
• Scalable private cloud deployments for enterprises
• Increasing availability of educational and training devices
• Integrated software tools (SpinQit, "SPINQ QEDA" chip design suite)

What "Public Availability" Really Means

There are three levels of "availability":

Public Cloud Access — Available Now

Anyone can access real quantum computers online today.

Educational / Research Hardware — Available Now

SpinQuanta and others already provide compact quantum computers for universities and labs.

Consumer-Level Hardware — Not Expected

Due to extreme cooling + operational requirements, consumer devices are not expected in the near or medium term.

Conclusion — With a Forward-Looking Perspective

Quantum computing is already accessible to the public in meaningful ways, especially through cloud platforms and educational hardware. These channels allow students, researchers, and industry users to explore real quantum processors without the need for specialized laboratory environments. At the same time, enterprise-class quantum computers remain firmly positioned within research institutions, universities, and industrial organizations due to their operational complexity and infrastructure requirements.

Looking ahead, public access to quantum computing is expected to deepen rather than shift toward consumer-owned devices. As more organizations explore how quantum computing can support research, training, and specialized problem-solving, the emphasis will be on broadening availability, improving usability, and enabling more professionals to work with real quantum systems.
