Diraq deploys silicon spin quantum computer in commercial data centre

HPQC portfolio company Diraq has deployed an eight-qubit silicon spin quantum computer at an Equinix data centre in Sydney, marking an important step towards integrating quantum computing into commercial computing infrastructure.

The deployment demonstrates the potential of Diraq’s silicon spin technology to operate alongside existing data centre systems, using established semiconductor manufacturing processes and requiring relatively modest power and space. The company is targeting an upgrade to 256 qubits within the same installation over the next year.

The milestone highlights continued progress in developing scalable quantum computing hardware and its potential integration into the wider digital infrastructure ecosystem.
