Equal1, the Irish quantum computing company that was spun out from University College Dublin (UCD), is set to make history on Monday as it unveils the world’s first silicon-based quantum server at a conference attended by about 15,000 physicists in California. It has developed the technology using the same semiconductor processes that power microchips. The 'Bell-1' server is designed to fit seamlessly into existing data centers and plugs into a standard electrical socket, bringing quantum computing to practical, everyday use.
