History
The 1981-built shelter in 2010

A small shelter at Rensselaer was built in 1981 and maintained by the local Lions Club.[1][3] The former Monon Railroad station was demolished in 1981.[4]

A new handicapped-accessible concrete platform was constructed with funds from the 2009 stimulus bill. The platform, which cost around $500,000, was dedicated on April 20, 2011.[4] The 1979-built shelter was later demolished and replaced with a one-story brick building, which opened on August 21, 2013.[3]

I want to increase my performance by ~10-15% and I believe that optimizing these operations on qubits would be the simplest way. What is the plan to include quantum computing support? I'm trying to have this ready for my performance review next quarter. Please advise!```
