Silicon spin-qubit quantum developer Diraq and enterprise IT hardware leader Dell Technologies have entered into a technical collaboration to integrate silicon quantum processing units (QPUs) with classical High-Performance Computing (HPC) and AI server infrastructure. The initiative addresses co-location and low-latency orchestration barriers to embed quantum accelerators into commercial data centers alongside classical compute architectures.
As part of the active technical testbed, Dell has deployed a dedicated HPC server cluster directly within Diraq’s Sydney laboratory, physically co-located alongside Diraq’s silicon spin quantum hardware. This setup establishes tight physical and high-speed network integration between classical servers and the QPU, minimizing interconnect latency to support real-time execution loops. Initial joint work focuses on hybrid workflow orchestration—adapting Dell software layers to automate real-time qubit calibration, tuning, and near-term quantum error correction (QEC) protocols.
| [ Diraq & Dell Technologies Hybrid HPC Integration Architecture ] | ||
|---|---|---|
| Integration Layer | Co-Located Technology Stack | Functional Scope & Objective |
| • Physical Hardware Testbed | • Dell HPC Server Cluster co-located in Sydney Lab • Diraq Silicon Spin-Qubit QPU | • Ultra-low latency quantum-classical interconnects • Real-time signal exchange & control testing |
| • Orchestration & Control | • Dell Hybrid Task Scheduling Software • Automated Real-Time Qubit Calibration | • Automated measurement processing & feed-forward • QEC loop execution without bespoke models |
| • Enterprise Scaling | • CMOS Foundry-Compatible Silicon Processors • Standard Data Center Rack Infrastructures | • Scaling to millions of qubits per chip • Application benchmarking (AI, Drug Discovery) |
Under Diraq Founder & CEO Andrew Dzurak and Dell Global CTO John Roese, the collaboration highlights the structural compatibility between silicon spin-qubit technology—fabricated via standard CMOS semiconductor processes—and standard enterprise computing platforms. The partners are evaluating targeted hybrid applications across large-scale optimization, supply chain logistics, financial portfolio modeling, and AI-accelerated molecular drug discovery pipelines.
