Diraq to Deploy Eight-Qubit Silicon Quantum Computer at Equinix Sydney Data Center

Diraq, a silicon spin-qubit developer, and data centre operator Equinix will install an eight-qubit quantum processor inside an Equinix facility in Sydney, with completion scheduled for October 2026. The deployment is presented as the first silicon spin-qubit quantum computer placed in a commercial data centre.

OutlookPlausible

The Sydney installation could let Australian enterprises access a local silicon spin-qubit processor through Equinix's existing data-centre interconnection services, opening early benchmarking and small algorithm-prototyping workloads without sending data to overseas quantum labs.
