  • •PT-3 achieves 20% improvement in protein design using NVIDIA's Proteína model.
  • •The quantum computer solves complex energy scheduling problems significantly faster than classical systems.
  • •The PT-3 is designed for rapid deployment and scalability, operating at room temperature.

ORCA Computing has launched the PT-3, a photonic quantum computer designed to achieve commercial quantum advantage, operational in Digital Realty's Innovation Lab in London. The PT-3 runs alongside NVIDIA accelerated computing and has already demonstrated a 20% improvement in protein design over classical methods. It also successfully tackled a 25,755-variable energy scheduling benchmark, completing it over 12 times faster than its predecessor. The system operates at room temperature, consumes 6 kW across two standard racks, and can be deployed within hours. ORCA aims to integrate quantum capabilities into existing infrastructures, supported by significant UK government investment in quantum technology.
