Equal1

Equal1 develops rack-mounted silicon quantum computers that deploy alongside existing CPU and GPU compute in standard data center infrastructure, enabling quantum, classical, and hybrid workloads to run together under unified management. The company's flagship product, Equal1 RacQ, ships today in a standard rack form factor using standard power and cooling, allowing quantum computing to move inside existing infrastructure rather than requiring a separate quantum project. The UnityQ quantum processor is built in CMOS silicon using the same foundries that manufacture every chip in data centers, making it manufacturable, deployable, and upgradeable—solving what the company calls the Holy Grail of quantum computing. Each generation of UnityQ compounds performance with more qubits, higher fidelity, and exponential compute within the same rack footprint. Equal1 targets four primary application areas: molecular systems simulation (that classical compute can only approximate), quantum AI (new training paths beyond classical scaling limits), optimization (search spaces too large to brute-force), and Monte Carlo (risk, pricing, and simulation models beyond classical sampling limits). Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Fremont, California, with offices in Ireland, Canada, Romania, Netherlands, and Japan, Equal1 has raised approximately $71.6 million in a Series A round backed by Atlantic Bridge, 808 Ventures, Enterprise Ireland, b2venture, Europa, EIC Fund, OSTI, and the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund.
