Indian Entrepreneur@indianentrepreneurAustralian startup Diraq is running a world-first trial of a small quantum computer inside a commercial data centre in Sydney.
Founder Andrew Dzurak believes quantum machines will be ready to ease AI's huge power demands within five years. The Sydney unit has eight qubits on a silicon chip and draws under 20 kilowatts, with plans to reach 150,000 qubits by 2029. Diraq also plans a two-million-qubit silicon chip by 2031, two years before a 2033 US benchmark deadline.
