Quantego

Quantego is a family of Lego models of IBM Quantum Computers

The first version of Quantego has been created by Mathilda Lahmann, as mentioned on LinkedIn in December 2021 and in April 2022.

Currrently, we feature two differnt versions: A Lego mode of IBM Quantum System One made of 49 bricks and a model of IBM Quantum System Two made of 105 bricks.

For each of the models, build instructions and a parts list is being made available. The instructions and the digital pictures and animations have been created with bricklink studio lego digital design software. Part numbers (3001, 4201, etc) are as on bricklink.

We expect to make a much more sophisticated model of IBM Quantum System Two - made of 1024 bricks - available very soon. Stay tuned.

High-end model of IBM Quantum System Two

Luca Crippa has designed a sophisticated and beautiful model of IBM Quantum System Two made of 1024 bricks.

You can find on the folder Renders other renders of the 1024 bricks model!

Here there are some actual photos of the built model, all the others will be posted in the Photos folder.

Parts List

Parts list can be found at the end of the build instructions file. You can also download this json and upload it on the official Lego Pick a Brick website of your Country (example) to purchase all the parts directly from Lego. Just upload the json by clicking on the "Upload List" button.

Disclaimer

This 1024 parts model has been designed by Lego amateurs (not professional): due to its rather complex design, it could be subject to issues. Any feedback for improvement is welcome!

Kits

A small internet shop provides complete kits of these models at Quantego.biz.
