DS Compute- Designing solutions for the future of computing

量子计算是一项极具颠覆性的技术，有可能彻底改变人们接近和使用数据中心和高性能计算的方式。不应低估量子计算带来的阶段性变化——它有可能从根本上改变个人使用、使用和购买计算基础设施的方式。这种对现状的颠覆要求我们重新思考个人和公司如何启动、识别和提供新的解决方案。ORCA computing是一家处于该市场前沿的公司，正在进行多个项目，为客户提供他们的第一台量子计算机。然而，对于ORCA和其他市场来说，对于客户真正想要如何使用量子计算机，以及他们需要采取哪些步骤才能成功采用这种激进的新技术，他们知之甚少。这对于了解这些客户是否会在这项技术被广泛采用的漫长过程中继续使用它是至关重要的。在接下来的12个月里，ORCA将为一些领先的公司和机构提供他们的第一台量子计算机，这些计算机将在2022年10月至2023年6月之间部署。这次供应提供了一个独特的机会，可以通过最初的接触、安装、理解和采用量子计算来观察客户的旅程。这个项目不仅仅涉及技术规格，而是有史以来第一次通过设计和人类的视角来看待这段旅程。通过ORCA计算和设计公司Alloy之间的合作伙伴关系，两家公司将对ORCA的客户进行访谈和实地考察，并使用它来进行双钻石过程，以确定用户在这一全新技术领域的旅程，挑战和机遇。这将引导项目团队提出非常理想的，以设计为中心的新服务，软件和硬件产品。量子计算不需要只关注量子位、速度和馈源。这个项目将从人类的角度来看待量子的未来。它将引领人类价值创造的道路，这将在未来几十年维持量子计算的未来。

Quantum Computing is a highly disruptive technology that has the potential to completely change the way that people approach and use data centres and high-performance computing.The step-change that quantum computing offers should not be understated- it has the potential to radically change the way that individuals use, work with and purchase computing infrastructure. This disruption to the status quo requires us to rethink how individuals and companies start, identify and deliver new solutions.ORCA computing is a company at the leading edge of that market, with multiple projects underway to supply customers with their first ever quantum computer. However, for ORCA and both the rest of the market there is surprisingly little understanding about how customers really want to use quantum computers, and which steps they need to take to become successful at adopting this radical new technology.This is critical to understand if those customers are to continue with this technology throughout its potentially long journey to widespread adoption.Over the next 12 months, ORCA will be supplying a number of leading companies and institutions with their first ever quantum computer to be deployed between October 2022 and June 2023\. This supply provides a unique opportunity to observe the customer journey through the initial contact, installation, understanding-building and adoption of quantum computing.Rather than only concerning technical specifications, this project will -- for the first time ever- be looking at that journey through a design and human lens.Through a partnership between ORCA Computing and the design company the Alloy, the two companies will conduct interviews and site visits of ORCA's customers and use that to carry out a double-diamond process to determine the journey, challenges and opportunities of the users in this completely new field of technology. This will lead the project team to put forward highly desirable, design- centred new service, software and hardware products.Quantum computing needn't just be about qubits, speeds and feeds. This project will look at the future of quantum from the human perspective. It will lead the way towards human value creation that will sustain the quantum computing's future for decades to come.
