Water
Quantum processor cooled by on-system dilution refrigerator (helium-3/helium-4 cryogenics) to millikelvin temperatures rather than facility water; conventional data-hall cooling is provided by Digital Realty's JFK10 building systems.

The New York (NYISO) grid demand right now: 20.8 GW (EIA-930, 2026-08-25 23:00).

County water status: Abnormally dry (D0) in New York County, week of 2026-08-18 (US Drought Monitor). Data centers are large water users for cooling; this is the neutral local water picture.

Why here

OQC New York Quantum-AI Data Centre sits on colocated. It connects to the NYISO grid, draws on grid power. This siting summary is composed from the record's held fields, not speculation; see methodology.

Common questions

What is OQC New York Quantum-AI Data Centre?
OQC New York Quantum-AI Data Centre is an AI data center campus tracked on the DEPLOY registry, located in New York, New York, USA. DEPLOY records its capacity as a dated, sourced ledger: announced gigawatts versus actually energized gigawatts, never a press-release total.
Who is building OQC New York Quantum-AI Data Centre?
Oxford Quantum Circuits is recorded as a party to OQC New York Quantum-AI Data Centre on the DEPLOY registry. The full party list, with each role, is on the record.
Is OQC New York Quantum-AI Data Centre operating yet?
As of the most recent verification on the DEPLOY registry, OQC New York Quantum-AI Data Centre is energized and operating. DEPLOY tracks the lifecycle from announced through energized, so the current state reflects sourced evidence, not the original announcement.
How verified is the data on OQC New York Quantum-AI Data Centre?
A human editor has reviewed this record for the indexed registry. Every capacity figure is an append-only, dated claim resolved to the highest-evidence tier; superseded claims are kept but excluded from the current view.
