'We are putting quantum inside the rack so customers can roll it in, plug it in': The world’s first rack-mounted quantum computer is here — and it runs at -459 degrees Fahrenheit from a standard wall socket
Equal1 and Dell have introduced the world's first rack-mounted quantum computer designed for enterprise use. This innovative system operates from a standard wall socket and utilizes a built-in cryocooler, eliminating the need for complex external cooling systems. Although still a prototype, it represents a significant step towards making quantum computing accessible in data centers.
- ▪The RacQ quantum computer fits within a standard 19-inch data center rack.
- ▪It can be powered by a single-phase 1.6kW wall socket, similar to high-end classical servers.
- ▪The system maintains an internal temperature of 0.3 Kelvin using an integrated close-cycle cryocooler.
