The self-contained system, including cryogenic cooling and control electronics, fits alongside standard servers, draws under 20kW of power, and can be upgraded to more qubits via chip replacement without infrastructure changes. Installation is targeted for completion in October 2026, after which Diraq plans to test integration with classical and AI systems before opening the site for partner and customer demonstrations. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
