This partnership marks a pivotal shift where cryogenic cooling, traditionally exclusive to quantum systems, becomes essential for scaling mainstream silicon data centers due to rising power density. By leveraging Australia's LNG expertise, Emergence Quantum and AirTrunk aim to simultaneously reduce water consumption and enable gigawatt-scale energy storage for renewable integration. The move signals that extreme cold is becoming an inevitable requirement for next-generation high-efficiency computing infrastructure rather than just a niche quantum enabler.

Emergence Quantum and AirTrunk cool data centres with quantum tech

Quantum ZeitgeistSeptember 15, 20264 min read

Emergence Quantum, a University of Sydney spin-out from 2025, partners with AirTrunk to develop cryogenic data-centre cooling technologies, aiming to reduce energy and water use while also supporting quantum computing development. Cryogenic cooling can improve the speed and energy-efficiency of silicon computer chips, enabling faster computation with less power.

University of Sydney spin-out Emergence Quantum is partnering with data center giant AirTrunk to apply cryogenic technology, typically reserved for quantum computers, to mainstream data center cooling. The collaboration aims to simultaneously reduce cooling water consumption and enable gigawatt-scale energy storage for better renewable energy utilization. Emergence Quantum co-founder and CEO Professor David Reilly notes, “It’s been understood for decades that computers run significantly faster and more efficiently in the cold, but there are challenges and…
