Irish company Equal1 launches silicon-based quantum computing server

Equal1, an Irish company, will unveil the Bell-1, a silicon-based quantum computing server, at the American Physical Society’s Global Physics Summit 2025. This server uses standard electrical sockets and has lower power consumption than existing quantum machines. The Bell-1 server integrates existing semiconductor technology, allowing for faster adoption of quantum computing. Equal1 plans to take orders and ship products for data centers and high-performance computing in the coming months. The company operates on a "fabless" model, relying on partners for chip production. Equal1 emphasizes its European supply chain amid recent trade tensions affecting the semiconductor industry.
