Building data center deployable quantum computers based on modified silicon transistors
About Diraq
Diraq manufactures quantum computers that can be deployed directly into data centers where they will be accessed by users to solve valuable problems across pharmaceuticals, materials simulation, financial services and more. Native to the same foundries that produce smartphone and laptop chips, Diraq’s chips can host millions of qubits, resulting in a quantum processing unit (QPU) compact enough to fit in a single server rack. At scale, each qubit is expected to have an operating cost of less than $1, making the cost per qubit roughly 1000× lower than competing quantum solutions.
By tapping into the trillion-dollar semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem, Diraq can deliver quantum systems at volumes and price points that make them a standard part of data center infrastructure. Crucially, this seamless integration into existing data centers means organizations can harness quantum capabilities alongside classical computing to tackle problems previously considered unsolvable, from designing new pharmaceuticals, to securing communications, to optimizing complex supply chains. Founded and led by Professor Andrew Dzurak (the pioneer who first demonstrated quantum logic in silicon), Diraq leverages decades of research breakthroughs that allow quantum chips to be built in standard semiconductor foundries.
Diraq has established production relationships with top-tier foundries such as GlobalFoundries and formed strategic partnerships with industry leaders including NVIDIA and Dell Technologies. It has consistently demonstrated industry-leading results including qubit fidelities of 99.9% in chips fabricated in a foundry environment, validating the technology’s scalability and performance advantages. Diraq operates across the United States (with operations in Palo Alto, Boston, Chicago, and Los Angeles) and maintains a world-class R&D center in Sydney, Australia — home to the planet’s highest concentration of silicon quantum computing talent.
