BDx Data Centres has introduced Southeast Asia’s first hybrid quantum AI testbed at its SIN1 facility in Paya Lebar, Singapore, following a memorandum of understanding with Anyon Technologies.

The testbed is being positioned as a resource for government agencies, enterprises, and startups that wish to explore quantum-enhanced AI applications. According to the companies, it integrates Anyon Technologies’ quantum computing system with the existing data centre infrastructure and is aligned with Singapore’s Green 2030 and Smart Nation objectives.

Mayank Srivastava, Chief Executive Officer of BDx, commented on the deployment, stating:

“Staying ahead of the curve has always been part of our DNA at BDx. Our journey, from deploying the most advanced NVIDIA GPUs across the region to now integrating quantum computing into our data center, reflects our commitment to not just keeping pace with innovation but shaping its future. Together, we are building an open platform that creates new opportunities to unlock the transformative potential of quantum computing.”

The project involves the installation of an on-premises superconducting quantum computer at the SIN1 data centre, which is to be integrated with NVIDIA’s GPU technology to support the next generation of AI workloads. The hybrid platform aims to allow users to experiment with a combination of quantum, CPU, and GPU resources in a single environment.

Dr Jie (Roger) Luo, President and Chief Executive Officer of Anyon Technologies, described the step as significant for modern computing infrastructure. He said:

“A modern computer today is essentially a whole data centre. Deploying a state-of-the-art hybrid quantum computing system at BDx’s SIN1 facility marks a transformative step in modern computing infrastructure. By integrating QPUs (Quantum Processing Units) with CPUs (Central Processing Units) and GPUs (Graphics Processing Units), we’re enabling breakthroughs in quantum algorithms and applications. This lowers adoption barriers for enterprise customers, like financial institutions in Singapore, to onboard talent and create real, differentiating business value.”

BDx stated that the SIN1 facility will also function as a cross-regional AI Hub and Innovation Centre, supporting high-growth startups as well as government technology initiatives. The centre will provide dedicated access to AI-ready infrastructure for organisations seeking to experiment with advanced technologies, including quantum computing. The companies say the aim is to drive practical outcomes in research, business, and AI development.

On the role of regional operators, Srivastava added:

“Operators in Asia have a critical role in building the ecosystem needed to accelerate AI adoption within the region. Singapore is a global innovation hub and an ideal environment for our AI testbed – we’re providing developers with the tools to experiment, prototype, and scale their ideas efficiently.”

The data centre claims a 20% increase in energy efficiency over comparable facilities, supported by advanced cooling systems, smart automation, and the use of Singapore’s first AI-powered digital twin for real-time energy and performance optimisation. SIN1 is certified to Singapore’s Green Data Centre Standards and operates under the Green Mark Platinum scheme.

Looking at the broader regional strategy, BDx and Anyon Technologies have plans to expand the hybrid quantum computing model to additional Asian markets, including Indonesia, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, thereby working towards a broader regional network of quantum-enabled data centres.
