"We are proud to partner with Quantum Corridor to deliver the first data center installation of our Dirac-3 computer, designed to solve complex optimization problems," said Dr. Yuping Huang, CEO of QCi. "This collaboration enhances secure and scalable access to our quantum computing capabilities and marks a significant step forward in QCi's commercial deployment strategy. By embedding our technology into a highly secure, quantum-compatible network in the
The Dirac-3 delivers computational capabilities that can be used in a wide range of applications, enabling organizations to detect fraud across millions of transactions, optimize complex multi-asset portfolios, plan mission critical operations and manage UAS risk at scale. By solving problems that are extremely complex for classical systems, Dirac-3 empowers faster, data-driven decisions and drives innovation in both commercial and scientific industries.
The partnership expands market reach and improves access to QCi's quantum hardware for the Chicago Quantum Exchange member institutions and a broader range of enterprises in the Midwest, including future expansion to universities and government partners in
"Our purpose-built network is designed to grow to serve as a foundation for quantum internet, and we are delighted to have the QCi machine on our network," said Dr. Mit Jha, CEO of Quantum Corridor. "This is an important step towards offering our customers unique access to computing solutions in the quantum era. Our quantum safe network that connects research institutions and industries that are expected to benefit significantly from quantum solutions will now have the ability to solve some of the previously intractable optimization problems."
