Thorsten, I think the question is rather more what sort of noise do you hope to capture: will it not just be more or less white/pink noise? I’ve recorded in computer rooms in the past and the overwhelming sound is of the aircon/refrigeration units and internal cooling fans. As far as I can see, the Quantum computer operates in a super-cold environment, so I guess the cooling system is what you’re going to get most of, which may or may not be interesting. Personally, I’d go for a Schoeps double M/S set-up and keep something dead simple like a Zoom H3-VR handy as well, just in case. Also, who knows what sort of electrical radiation these things put out: you may find that any useable sound is wiped out by all-encompassing electrical interference, although I really hope that’s not the case. What recorder will you be using?
I’ll be interested to hear the results, regardless, and best of luck whatever you end up with.
