Water
Trapped-ion quantum systems do not use dilution-refrigerator cryogenics; Helios operates near room temperature with ultra-high-vacuum chambers and laser cooling of ions. No water cooling disclosed for the quantum system itself; HVAC is handled by the surrounding OCI data center. A single Helios unit draws roughly 60 kW excluding HVAC.

County water status: Abnormally dry (D0) in Smith County, week of 2026-08-18 (US Drought Monitor). Data centers are large water users for cooling; this is the neutral local water picture.
