UK-based Oxford Quantum Circuits (OQC) will install a quantum computer at Equinix's TY11 Tokyo International Business Exchange (IBX) data centre.

OQC plans to launch its Quantum Computing as a Service commercially to businesses worldwide in late 2023, leveraging Equinix’s on-demand interconnection solution Equinix Fabric.

IDC predicts that by 2026, 95% of companies will invest in compute technologies that deliver faster insights from complex data sets to drive differentiated business outcomes. Quantum computing is one of the cutting-edge technologies with the potential  to fundamentally alter key data-to-insights functions. For data-driven businesses, the ability to differentiate and remain competitive comes down to delivering meaningful insights on ever-more complex scenarios and in tighter timespans.

“Making quantum computing available ‘as-a-Service’ on a globally interconnected digital infrastructure should significantly reduce barriers to experimentation and adoption such as cost, skills, and the complexity of integration—and open up quantum technology to many more organisations to test and use."

Andrew Buss, senior research director – Europe, IDC

The future is quantum

Dr. Ilana Wisby, CEO at OQC, said: “We are excited to work with Equinix to help businesses around the world to build their quantum skillset and capabilities. The future is here, and we are setting the pace for the era of quantum computing.”

“The world has been waiting for quantum computing to mature to the point that it can change our lives. Installing quantum computing in Equinix’s world-class TY11 data centre brings us a step closer to this reality,” she added.

“Quantum computing represents a major shift in terms of technology and process. Unlike traditional classical computers, quantum computers can crunch vast amounts of data at incredible speeds.”

Once connected to Equinix Fabric, businesses will benefit from the ease of access to quantum computing as if it is on-premises, meaning that they can trial and experiment with the ground-breaking technology by directly connecting to QCaaS within their own digital infrastructure with greater security and ease.

Quantum computing lits fire under advanced innovation

It is expected there will be growing demand from organizations, with the technology set to support a wide range of sectors, from drug discovery and development to risk management, banking and advanced manufacturing.

Arun Dev, Equinix

“Quantum computing has the potential to transform the way businesses solve problems both now and into the future, especially as our customers look for more innovative solutions,” said Arun Dev, global head of digital interconnection, Equinix.

He pointed out the benefits and importance of Equinix Fabric for customers such as OQC wanting to expand their connectivity opportunities.

“We are proud to enable easier, secure, high-bandwidth access to this pioneering technology to thousands of businesses around the world. Welcoming OQC’s quantum computer to our global interconnection ecosystem on Platform Equinix underpins our commitment to supporting innovation."
