Host DX-1 facility uses Lake Michigan water-side economization via heat exchanger plus air-side economizer and Munters refrigerant units. The Dirac-3 itself is a room-temperature photonic (thin-film lithium niobate) system and does not require dilution-refrigerator cryogenics.

The MISO grid demand right now: 66.1 GW (EIA-930, 2026-09-27 05:00).

County water status: No drought in Lake County, week of 2026-09-08 (US Drought Monitor). Data centers are large water users for cooling; this is the neutral local water picture.

Common questions

What is QCi Dirac-3 Quantum Machine at Digital Crossroad?
QCi Dirac-3 Quantum Machine at Digital Crossroad is an AI data center campus tracked on the DEPLOY registry, located in Hammond, Indiana, USA. DEPLOY records its capacity as a dated, sourced ledger: announced gigawatts versus actually energized gigawatts, never a press-release total.
Who is building QCi Dirac-3 Quantum Machine at Digital Crossroad?
Quantum Computing Inc is recorded as a party to QCi Dirac-3 Quantum Machine at Digital Crossroad on the DEPLOY registry. The full party list, with each role, is on the record.
Is QCi Dirac-3 Quantum Machine at Digital Crossroad operating yet?
As of the most recent verification on the DEPLOY registry, QCi Dirac-3 Quantum Machine at Digital Crossroad 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 QCi Dirac-3 Quantum Machine at Digital Crossroad?
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 Every capacity figure is an append-only, dated claim resolved to the highest-evidence tier; superseded claims are kept but excluded from the current view.
