Superconducting quantum computers use superconducting wires that lose electrical resistance when cooled to near absolute zero, requiring complex cryogenic systems (like Google's famous chandelier-style cryostat) to cool the qubits.

[56:45] using what are called superconducting uh cubits. So this is a famous chandelier kryostat developed by Google...the wiring that cools down the the the real thing that's doing the quantum computation down to near absolute zero.
