Quantum and AI are converging. ORCA’s photonic quantum accelerator plugs straight into AI hardware, models, and pipelines already in use, giving your AI a genuine quantum edge today.

Scalable architecture

Modular and upgradeable architecture, that scales in capability and performance. Add capacity incrementally without obsoleting what you have installed.

Energy efficient

Greater AI capability within existing power constraints, enabling data centres to unlock more value.

Built for the data centre

Most major quantum modalities were designed for lab settings, not the data centre. Built from proven telecommunications-grade components, the PT Series ships as standard: 42U, 750kg and 6kW power draw.

We make it easy to use

You don’t need to be a quantum physicist to use ORCA’s systems. Your developers can use Python, PyTorch, Slurm or CUDA-Q, plus benefit from a portfolio of optimised algorithms.

Government backed, industry validated benchmarks. 

More than thirty five enterprise and public sector organisations validating our quantum applications. Explore our use cases by industry.
