Irish quantum computing startup Equal1 has unveiled RacQ, a rack-mounted silicon-spin quantum computer powered by UnityQ, the company's CMOS quantum system-on-chip.
In a statement, Equal1 said RacQ builds on its earlier Bell-1 system, extending the company’s quantum technology into a standard data center form factor designed for hybrid quantum-classical computing.

Described by the company as a world first, Equal1 said the system has been designed to fit inside a conventional 19-inch rack, meaning it can be plugged into existing data centers using only a standard 1.6kW power socket.
Weighing 400kg (882lb), RacQ also features an integrated, self-contained, closed-cycle cryocooler that maintains an internal temperature of 0.3 Kelvin (-272.85°C/-459.13°F) without external infrastructure.
