QuEra Computing and Dell Technologies are demonstrating a functional integration of quantum processing units (QPUs) within mainstream data center architecture, paving the way for hybrid quantum–classical computing (HQCC). Announced November 17, 2025, the collaboration showcases a co-located deployment at QuEra’s Boston facilities, featuring a Dell HPC mini-cluster with PowerEdge servers, NVIDIA GPUs, and the Dell Quantum Intelligent Orchestrator (QIO) operating alongside QuEra’s neutral-atom quantum system. This milestone validates QuEra’s processors as viable HPC peers and will be demonstrated at Supercomputing 2025, simulating Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) state generation to benchmark multi-qubit entanglement within a practical HQCC environment.
Dell and QuEra Demonstrate Quantum/Classical Integration
Dell Technologies and QuEra Computing are demonstrating a significant step toward practical quantum computing integration. At Supercomputing 2025 (SC25), they’ll showcase a co-located system where QuEra’s neutral-atom quantum processor operates alongside a Dell HPC mini-cluster—including PowerEdge servers with NVIDIA GPUs and the Dell Quantum Intelligent Orchestrator (QIO). This isn’t just theoretical; QIO is actively scheduling workloads across both classical and quantum resources, validating QPUs as peers within existing HPC environments and paving the way for hybrid workflows.
The SC25 demo specifically focuses on generating Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) states—a benchmark for multi-qubit entanglement—to highlight QuEra’s unique capabilities. Key to this is qubit shuttling, dynamically rearranging atoms to optimize connectivity, and parallel gate execution, applying quantum gates simultaneously to improve speed and scalability. This demonstration validates QuEra’s neutral-atom architecture’s ability to handle complex computations and seamlessly integrate into established HPC infrastructure.
This collaboration signifies a move beyond isolated quantum experiments. Dell provides the necessary orchestration and infrastructure expertise, while QuEra delivers a scalable, flexible, and energy-efficient quantum platform. The goal is to enable HPC centers, hyperscalers, and enterprise innovators to utilize hybrid quantum-classical computing (HQCC) for real-world applications, with benefits ranging from optimized research workflows to new cloud service offerings and transparent performance benchmarking.
Hybrid Quantum Computing Benefits and Applications
Hybrid quantum computing is rapidly moving beyond theoretical research, with companies like QuEra Computing and Dell Technologies demonstrating practical integration. At Supercomputing 2025 (SC25), they’ll showcase a system where a QuEra neutral-atom quantum processing unit (QPU) operates alongside Dell’s HPC infrastructure—including servers with NVIDIA GPUs—managed by the Dell Quantum Intelligent Orchestrator (QIO). This co-location validates QPUs as viable “first-class compute peers” and sets a benchmark for minimal disruption when integrating quantum into existing data centers.
This integration isn’t just about if quantum can work with classical systems, but how. The SC25 demo simulates generating Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) states – a multi-qubit entanglement benchmark – leveraging QuEra’s unique neutral-atom architecture. Key features enabling this include qubit shuttling (dynamic atom rearrangement) and parallel gate execution, allowing for faster application speeds and improved scalability—capabilities crucial for complex quantum algorithms.
The benefits of this hybrid approach extend across multiple sectors. HPC centers gain a tested model for workload orchestration, hyperscalers can offer unified quantum-classical cloud services, and enterprises see confirmation of quantum’s transition to practical IT strategy. Dell and Quera’s collaboration signals a roadmap for HQCC environments, bridging current HPC systems with the potential of quantum acceleration—a critical step toward solving previously intractable problems.
Neutral-Atom System Capabilities for Scalable Computing
QuEra Computing and Dell Technologies are demonstrating a key step toward scalable quantum computing: seamless integration of neutral-atom quantum processors within existing data center infrastructure. At Supercomputing 2025 (SC25), they’ll showcase a co-located system featuring Dell’s HPC mini-cluster – including PowerEdge servers with NVIDIA GPUs – directly alongside QuEra’s quantum hardware. This isn’t just a proof-of-concept; it utilizes Dell’s Quantum Intelligent Orchestrator (QIO) to manage workloads, paving the way for hybrid quantum-classical computing (HQCC) with low latency and secure data governance.
QuEra’s neutral-atom approach offers unique capabilities crucial for scalability. The SC25 demo will highlight GHZ state generation, a benchmark for multi-qubit entanglement, leveraging “qubit shuttling” – dynamically rearranging atoms for optimized connectivity – and “parallel gate execution,” applying gates simultaneously to multiple qubits. These features enable faster processing and greater scalability compared to some other quantum architectures, allowing complex algorithms to be explored more efficiently within the hybrid system.
This collaboration signals a shift toward practical quantum computing for various sectors. HPC centers gain a tested integration model, hyperscalers a pathway to hybrid cloud services, and enterprise innovators assurance that quantum is moving beyond research. By combining Dell’s HPC orchestration expertise with QuEra’s scalable neutral-atom systems, the demonstration provides a concrete roadmap for HQCC environments, bridging today’s systems with tomorrow’s quantum acceleration.
