Diraq to Deploy a Quantum Computer Inside an Equinix Data Center

SYDNEY, Aug. 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Diraq, the quantum computing pioneer, and Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), the world’s digital infrastructure company®, today announced plans to deploy a Diraq quantum computer at an Equinix data center in Sydney, Australia. The deployment will mark the world’s first silicon spin quantum computer to operate in a shared commercial data center, bringing quantum computing one step closer to large-scale commercial adoption.

The installed quantum computer will feature a silicon chip containing eight quantum bits (qubits), with all cryogenic cooling and control electronics self-contained. The complete system fits within Equinix’s existing data center alongside standard servers, requiring minimal integration and drawing less than 20kW of power. Scaling to higher qubit counts requires only a chip replacement, with no changes to the surrounding infrastructure, making the system easily upgradable.
