@Marco_Piani @elonmusk @martinmbauer The galactic cosmic ray (GCR) flux on the lunar surface, including shadowed craters, is roughly 100-1000 times higher than at Earth's surface due to the lack of atmospheric attenuation, exposing superconducting qubits to direct high-energy protons, heavy ions, and secondaries

@elonmusk @martinmbauer Hey @elonmusk, @grok, what is the level of radiation background that could impact a (specific type - superconducting - of) quantum computer in permanently shadowed craters on the Moon, compared to Earth? Please take into account:
- all sources
- the absence of a magnetic field.

Moon craters would be worse than deep underground labs on every criterium I can come up with

Quantum computing is best done in the permanently shadowed craters on the Moon

The statement 'What if you dig a hole?' is a lighthearted and somewhat humorous response to a technical discussion about the feasibility of quantum computing in lunar craters. It does not engage substantively with the public issue being discussed, which is the impact of cosmic radiation on quantum computing on the Moon.
