OQC GENESIS (New York)
OQC GENESIS (New York) is a superconducting circuits quantum computer operated by Oxford Quantum Circuits in USA. It has 16 physical qubits. It ranks 46 of 53 superconducting machines in this table by physical qubit count. 9 sourced specs are in the spec sheet. No benchmark figures are recorded for it yet.
Also known as OQC GENESIS at Digital Realty JFK10
OQC's fourth-generation device, billed as its first in the logical era, at Digital Realty's JFK10 data centre. The launch release says it is installed; OQC's devices page says it will be deployed with 16 qubits. Quantum Computing Report (5 November 2025) says GENESIS is deployed at JFK10 as the first quantum computing system in a New York City data centre, while OQC's technical roadmap says the device is commercially available from 2026 and does not mention New York. No fetched source states that it is running user workloads, so status is kept at under_construction rather than operational.
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 | GENESIS, 16 dual-rail dimon qubits on 16 lattice sites, 15 mm processor scale | Vendor reported | Roadmap page lists logical error rate target of 1e-3; QCR and OI describe it as 16 logical qubits. | oqc.techoqc.tech |
| Qubit type | dual-rail dimon qubit with per-qubit error detection | Vendor reported | OQC says one dual-rail qubit fits the footprint of a single coaxmon and raises qubit lifetime about tenfold. | oqc.techoqc.tech |
| Topology | 16 lattice sites, one dual-rail logical qubit per site | Vendor reported | Connectivity between sites is not described on the roadmap page. | oqc.tech |
| Cooling and environment | Oxford Instruments ProteoxLX dilution refrigerator | Vendor reported | Oxford Instruments supplies the refrigerator for the New York installation. | quantumcomputingreport.comoxinst.com |
| Operating temperature | 7 mK | Vendor reported | Source says the ProteoxLX base temperature is below 7 mK, so 7 is an upper bound for the fridge, not a chip measurement; QCR text mirrors the Oxford Instruments release. | oxinst.comquantumcomputingreport.com |
| Software | NVIDIA CUDA-Q with Grace Hopper superchips | Vendor reported | TQI report of the OQC, Digital Realty and NVIDIA launch. | thequantuminsider.com |
| Predecessor | OQC Toshiko | Vendor reported | OQC lists GENESIS as the fourth-generation device after the third-generation Toshiko. | oqc.tech |
| Successor | OQC TITAN (200 logical qubits, 2028) | Vendor reported | Roadmap page lists TITAN at 200 logical qubits, 2,000 lattice sites, 1e-6 logical error rate. | oqc.tech |
| Roadmap | TITAN in 2028, ATHENA (5,000 logical qubits) in 2031, ATLAS (50,000 logical qubits) in 2034 | Vendor reported | Read from OQC's technical roadmap page on 2026-10-09. | oqc.tech |
