IQM plans scalable 150 qubit quantum computer
IQM in Finland is planning a scalable quantum computer platform that will grow to 150 qubits by 2025.
The IQM Radiance platforms comes in two variants: 54 qubits, target for availability is Q3/2024 and 150 qubits, targeted from Q1/2025.
IQM Radiance follows the launch of IQM Spark, a quantum computer with a pre-installed 5-qubit quantum processing unit tailored for universities and research institutions for learning and giving users full control of experiments.
Radiance starts as a 54 qubit system, and IQM plans for it to be available in 2024 to provide early adopters with the opportunity to master system operations, integrate systems into existing environments, explore algorithm behaviour, and perform quantum advantage experiments.
Initial customers can upgrade the 54-qubit system to a 150 qubit system in 2025 and replacing the initial 150 qubit chips by higher performance chips as soon as these are available.
IQM Radiance is designed for businesses, high performance computing centres, data centres and governments.
- €1m buys 5 qubit superconducting on-premises quantum computer
- €128m for Europe’s largest quantum computing deal
- €20m quantum processor plant opens in Finland
- €35m for sovereign quantum supply chain
“This is the right moment for businesses to invest and harness quantum advantage as early as possible to gain a competitive edge. IQM Radiance allows enterprises to target real-life use cases, testing applications with the most business potential. High-potential areas include machine learning, cybersecurity, system control, energy grid and route optimisation,” says Dr. Jan Goetz, CEO and Co-founder of IQM Quantum Computers.
“Radiance will be an enterprise-graded system for which we are optimistic that it will bring quantum utility to some applications even with a relatively modest number of quality qubits. Our upgrade path allows early adopters to start with a smaller system while receiving a larger system with a significant leap in computing power later,” said Dr. Björn Pötter, Head of Product at IQM Quantum Computers.
