Oxford Quantum Circuits (OQC), in partnership with Digital Realty and NVIDIA, has opened the first-ever Quantum-AI data center in New York City. The facility, located at Digital Realty’s downtown site, brings together quantum computing and advanced AI hardware in a single, secure environment, a first for the city and a major step toward hybrid enterprise computing.
The company already operates quantum systems in London and Tokyo, and the New York launch marks its first North American deployment within a commercial data center.
At the heart is OQC’s GENESIS quantum computer, integrated with NVIDIA’s latest Grace Hopper Superchips. This combination allows the system to run complex quantum calculations alongside AI workloads, opening up possibilities for faster analytics, improved machine learning models, and new approaches to problem-solving that were previously out of reach for traditional data centers.
And it’s unique dual-rail Dimon qubit technology reduces errors in quantum calculations, bringing the industry closer to fault-tolerant systems that can operate at scale.
Bridging Quantum and AI
By situating quantum and AI computing within Digital Realty’s global infrastructure, OQC aims to provide businesses with a platform where cutting-edge technology is both accessible and scalable. Enterprises can now experiment with quantum-enhanced AI applications in areas such as finance, security, and logistics without the need for specialized, on-site hardware.
The implications span multiple industries, potentially accelerating breakthroughs in areas such as:
- Finance: Quantum-enhanced risk analysis, portfolio optimisation, fraud detection, and derivatives pricing
- Security and Defence: Simulations, logistics planning, and decision-making under complex conditions
- Artificial Intelligence: Faster training of AI models, efficient data generation, and exploration of quantum machine learning approaches
The Quantum-AI data center represents a milestone for the industry, showing how quantum computing can move beyond research labs and into enterprise-ready environments.
