Sampo T-Shirt | Ilmarinen Forges a Golden Quantum Computer

In the Kalevala, the Finnish national epic compiled by Elias Lönnrot in the 1800s, the smith Ilmarinen forges the Sampo. He makes it from the tip of a swan's feather, the milk of a barren cow, a grain of barley and the wool of a ewe, and the finished wonder grinds out endless flour, salt and gold. Whoever holds it prospers, and the epic's heroes later sail north to take it back from Louhi, the Mistress of Pohjola.

In this design Ilmarinen raises his hammer over a glowing anvil while above him hangs a golden machine of rings, coils and chains, styled like the chandelier-shaped cooling rig that holds a quantum computer's chip. Finland has become one of Europe's quantum computing centers, building its own machines. Finland's best-known legend of a wealth-making device has a new candidate.
