The brief

Analyst view

• Deploying world's first silicon spin system in commercial data center (Equinix Sydney, Oct 2026); 8 qubits, <20 kW.
• 300mm industrial CMOS foundries achieve >99% fidelity on all operations (single-qubit, two-qubit, readout).
• Modular design fits standard data center; scales by chip replacement; path to millions of qubits.

Technical approach

As reported

Silicon spins

Electron spins in quantum dots

Confined electrons manipulated via gate electrodes; nanosecond timescale control.

CMOS fabrication

Standard foundry processes on 300mm wafers

Same processes as smartphones; leverages decades of cost scaling.

Compact system

Cryo and control in one unit

Integrated system fits standard data center; draws <20 kW.

Scalability

Millions of qubits via Moore's Law

Feature scaling increases qubits per wafer exponentially; only chip replacements needed.
