ORCA Deploys Photonic Quantum Systems in London Lab Without Cryogenic Cooling

3 articles · Updated · Quantum Zeitgeist · Jun 14

Summary

  • Digital Realty’s London Innovation Lab will run ORCA Computing’s photonic quantum systems in live operational conditions, giving customers direct access to test quantum workloads inside enterprise infrastructure.
  • ORCA’s PT Series can operate in standard data center environments without specialized cooling or bespoke infrastructure, a key break from many quantum systems that rely on complex cryogenic setups.
  • That design lets companies trial hybrid quantum-classical use cases alongside existing AI and high-performance computing systems, helping them assess integration risks before wider deployment.
  • For ORCA, the installation marks a commercial milestone as it pushes practical, near-term quantum adoption through real-world deployments and partnerships including NVIDIA, Toyota Tsusho, SiC Systems and JIJ.
