Equal1 Launches Bell-1: The First Quantum System Purpose-Built for the HPC Era

March 16, 2025

Bringing Quantum Computing Out of the Lab and Into Data Centers—Seamless, Scalable, and Ready for enterprise & data center deployment.

Equal1 today unveils Bell-1, the first quantum system purpose-built for the HPC era. Unlike first-generation quantum computers that demand dedicated rooms, infrastructure, and complex cooling systems, Bell-1 is designed for direct deployment in HPC-class environments.

A Quantum Breakthrough for Real-World Use

Bell-1 marks the beginning of Quantum Computing 2.0—the shift from experimental machines to practical quantum solutions. Equal1 is introducing the first commercially viable quantum system built to run inside existing AI and HPC datacenter environments.

Technical Highlights

  • System Type: Rack-mounted, plug-and-play quantum server
  • Quantum Processor: UnityQ 6-Qubit Quantum Processing System
  • Operating Temperature: 0.3 Kelvin (-272.85°C) with self-contained cryo-cooling (no dilution fridge required)
  • Power Consumption: 1600 W—comparable to an enterprise server
  • Infrastructure: Standard data center compatibility (no specialized facilities required)
  • Weight & Footprint: Standard 600 mm x 1000 mm x 1600 mm data center rack, ~200 kg
  • Upgrade Path: Future-oriented technology capable of QSoC integration

Jason Lynch, CEO of Equal1:
"Bell-1 represents a paradigm shift in how quantum computing is deployed and utilized. We've taken quantum technology out of the lab and into real-world environments where it can drive innovation. This is the dawn of Quantum Computing 2.0—where accessibility, scalability, and practicality take center stage."
