Irish startup Equal1 has unveiled the world\u2019s first quantum computer that runs on a hybrid quantum-classical silicon chip. <\/span><\/p>\n

Dubbed Bell-1 \u2014 after quantum physicist <\/span>John Stewart Bell \u2014 the computer weighs around 200kg and plugs into a regular electrical socket. The rack-mountable machine is designed to simply slot into high-performance computing (HPC) data centres alongside standard servers. <\/span><\/p>\n

Equal1\u2019s CEO Jason Lynch told TNW that combining quantum technology with today\u2019s most advanced classical processors offers the fastest route to a quantum computer capable of potentially world-changing calculations. <\/span><\/p>\n

The potential applications are endless. Quantum computers have the potential to solve complex problems that classical computers cannot, which could lead to breakthroughs in drug discovery, cryptography, modelling, and AI. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re leveraging established semiconductor technologies to scale up faster than the competition,\u201d <\/span>said Lynch. \u201cThis is the best way to scale quantum computing at the pace required.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n
