Finnish firm IQM will supply Oak Ridge National Laboratory with its first on-site 20-qubit quantum computer in 2025.
IQM and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) announced the agreement on Tuesday, describing it as a significant step in advancing U.S. quantum research. The 20-qubit system, scheduled for delivery in the third quarter of 2025, will be integrated with ORNL’s high-performance computing environment and is designed to be upgradeable to larger qubit counts.
IQM Co-CEOs Mikko Valimaki and Jan Goetz said the collaboration highlights quantum computing’s practical applications and the company’s goal of working with ORNL researchers in areas such as fluid dynamics, particle physics and electronic structure simulations.
Founded in 2018 out of Aalto University and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, IQM has been at the forefront of Finland’s quantum technology drive. Earlier this year, VTT and IQM unveiled Europe’s first 50-qubit superconducting quantum computer, a milestone for the continent.
