As quantum moves closer to real-world use, new modelling puts numbers around quantum computing's future potential, including 50% more potentially lifesaving medicines reaching patients - the equivalent of 25 more each year

Quantum computing pioneer, Diraq has installed Australia's first quantum computer inside a commercial data centre, now live at Equinix in Sydney. As quantum computing moves into the everyday infrastructure that businesses rely on, Diraq is also launching Quantum at Work, a new report exploring how the technology could be put to work on some of the world's hardest problems including medicine discovery.

"We are now at a point where quantum computing can start to reach industries and the people they serve," said Andrew Dzurak, CEO and Founder of Diraq.

"That shift matters more than any single milestone, because it changes what's possible for every field quantum touches, from medicine to materials to logistics. Our silicon spin approach is what puts that within reach in five years, not decades. It gives us a manufacturing path already proven at industrial scale, a cost curve that improves as we add qubits, and a system designed to run inside today's existing computing infrastructure."

The deployment marks a significant step for Australian-developed quantum technology, taking it from the lab and into Equinix's data centre, home to everyday computing infrastructure for banking, healthcare, utilities, manufacturing and retail industries.

Diraq’s quantum computers are designed to scale, without requiring data centres to scale around them. Its silicon spin architecture is built using the same semiconductor manufacturing processes used to produce today's conventional computer chips. This allows customers to increase computing power by upgrading the quantum processor, with minimal changes to the surrounding infrastructure.

That strategy impacts the system’s power and physical footprint. The current quantum computer draws less than 20 kW, and Diraq expects a…
