Finnish IQM Quantum Computers, which designs, builds, and sells superconducting quantum computers, has announced that it reached a milestone of producing 30 full-stack quantum computers in its manufacturing facility in Espoo.
In addition, IQM has also completed the delivery and installation of six full-stack quantum computers to customers worldwide. IQM’s previously announced customers include VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ) in Germany as well as Forschungszentrum Jülich in Germany.
“One of the key bottlenecks in quantum computer adoption has been prohibitively high prices. We are the first quantum computer manufacturer with the goal of taking quantum computers to a much wider market with industrialised manufacturing capabilities that help drive the prices lower. Looking ahead, our production line has the capacity to deliver up to 20 full-stack quantum computers a year,” said IQM Quantum Computers Co-CEO Mikko Välimäki.
IQM´s production facility spreads over 5,000 square meters, including a cleanroom area of 560 square meters to produce quantum processing units (QPU). The facility also houses a 2,500 square meter assembly line to produce full-stack quantum computers and support research and development activities.
“Our manufacturing capabilities are one of the key differentiators with the rest of the market,” said Tomi Riipinen, IQM’s Vice President for Quantum Systems, and continued: “As a result, we have been able to ramp up our tech roadmap and create the industry’s largest on-premises quantum computer product portfolio for every budget and price point.”
