Diraq says it has installed a silicon spin quantum computer in a shared commercial data centre, drawing under 20kW and designed to scale through chip upgrades rather than facility overhauls. The power and integration claims are company-reported, and the real test is the performance data the Equinix deployment is meant to produce. The 2025 foundry fabrication on standard 300mm wafers is the more substantive point for readers tracking whether quantum hardware can use existing semiconductor manufacturing.
Diraq’s silicon qubit computer runs in Equinix data centre
Diraq is pioneering compact quantum computers, deploying the world’s first silicon spin system in an Equinix data center in Australia.
In 2026, Diraq deployed a quantum computer within an Equinix data center in Australia, marking the first time a silicon spin quantum computer has operated inside a shared commercial facility. This deployment distinguishes Diraq’s approach, as the company designs for scalability with chip upgrades that avoid overhauling existing data center infrastructure. Its quantum computer currently draws less than 20kW of power. “The promise of quantum computing…
