IQCC Negev
IQCC Negev is a photonic quantum computer operated by Quantum Machines in Israel. Its physical qubit count has not been published. 3 sourced specs are in the spec sheet. No benchmark figures are recorded for it yet.
Also known as Negev, Israeli Quantum Computing Center photonic system
Photonic system at the Israeli Quantum Computing Center, built with ORCA technology and described by SDxCentral as having eight qumodes, so no qubit count is recorded. It opened with the centre in June 2024 and shares the centre's access policy; the sources give no later status update.
Spec sheet
Technical details as the builder or a paper states them, each with its own source. A blank is a fact we could not source, not a zero. Fidelity and coherence figures are in the benchmark table below.
| Spec | Value | Basis | Note | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Processor | ORCA-powered quantum photonics system with eight qumodes | Vendor reported | SDxCentral gives eight qumodes rather than a qubit count. | sdxcentral.com |
| Qubit type | Photonic qumodes | Vendor reported | The photon encoding is not stated. | sdxcentral.com |
| Access and pricing | Priority and discounted access for Israeli academia and industry, open to researchers worldwide | Vendor reported | Prices are not published in the sources. | sdxcentral.comcalcalistech.com |
