IQM signs agreement with EuroHPC for two quantum computers

Oct 17, 2024 | Posted by Abdul-Rahman Oladimeji

IQM is to deliver two of its Radiance quantum systems to a supercomputing center in Germany after signing a purchase agreement with the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU).Folowing the agreement, IQM will hand over one 54-qubit system to the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ) in the second half of 2025, and a 150-qubit system by the end of 2026.

The two Radiance systems will be integrated into the Euro-Q-Exa hybrid quantum computer, a digital quantum computer based on superconducting qubits and entangling capabilities housed at the LRZ, at the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities in Germany.

"The collaborative efforts across Europe to integrate quantum computing into HPC centers are remarkable and perfectly aligned with our technology strategy,” said Dr. Jan Goetz, co-founder and co-CEO at IQM Quantum Computers. “As we continue to meet the accelerating needs of our customers globally, we are excited to deploy our advanced systems at LRZ, driving scientific breakthroughs, fostering R&D, and creating new opportunities for industrial innovation in Germany and across Europe.”
