🚀 A huge milestone for ORCA Computing! 🚀 We’re excited to announce the on-time delivery of our first PT-2 system to the National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC)! 🎉 Our CEO, Richard Murray, reflects on the journey from PT-1 to PT-2, paving the way for PT-3 and beyond. A massive congratulations and heartfelt thanks to the ORCA Computing team and our valued collaborators and suppliers including ID Quantique, Sparrow Quantum, NVIDIA and Innovate UK, for making this possible! 🔗 Read Richard’s full post and celebrate this achievement with us! #QuantumComputing #PT2 #Innovation #NQCC
I'm over the moon to announce the shipment of our **first** PT-2 system, currently en route to the National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC). We've come a long way since our PT-1, which we launched back in 2022. This has been our workhorse, helping users integrate quantum into classical workloads, build applications, benchmark performance, educate and train users. The PT-2 delivers all that and more with a substantial performance improvement of 40 qumodes at industry-relevant clock cycles, all in standard 19" racks provided alongside GPUs and the suite of software integration and application tools that our customers have come to expect from us. Already, our customers have been busy with it, running an 81 parameter binary optimisation task, benchmarking of quantum/classical generative AI for molecular chemistry and successfully completing 25,000 jobs, uninterrupted during our QTap day. Next stop, PT-3 and commercial quantum advantage in 2026! Huge congratulations to the ORCA Computing team, and our valued collaborators and suppliers ID Quantique, Sparrow, NVIDIA, Digital Catapult, Innovate UK
