IQM Radiance™ is our most advanced superconducting quantum computing platform. It is immediately available with 20 or 54 high-fidelity qubits, and will soon support up to 150 qubits.
IQM Radiance is built on a scalable and future-proof architecture, offering uncompromised performance with our best-in-class qubits and components to meet your growing quantum needs.
Let’s start your quantum journey together!
IQM Radiance™ offers high-performance computing centers (HPC), data centers, leading enterprises, and governments an early opportunity to master quantum system operations, integrate systems into existing environments, explore algorithm behavior, and most of all: explore quantum utility.
IQM is actively advancing in exploring several algorithms in collaboration with industry players, for optimization, simulation, and quantum machine learning.
IQM Radiance™ is designed to be a modular system with a future-proof architecture. It is immediately available as a 20- or 54-qubit system with industry-leading fidelities and volume.
You will also have an opportunity to upgrade the system into 150 qubits while maintaining industry-leading fidelities.
IQM Radiance™ can be delivered as 20- or 54-qubit variants. The 20-qubit system has 20 computational transmon qubits and 30 tunable couplers, and the 54-qubit system has 54 computational transmon qubits and 90 tunable couplers.
The modular architecture of IQM Radiance™ allows the customer to upgrade the system to a 150-qubit system with 150 computational transmon qubits and an additional 266 qubits used as tunable couplers. Estimated availability: 2025.

Assessing the hardware performance of quantum computers relies on several characteristics, which have to be well balanced to allow maximum usefulness for applications and algorithms. Superconducting technology performs exceptionally well across all dimensions. That’s why VTT, LRZ and others decided to integrate our system:
Quantum algorithms rely on high-quality two-qubit gates for computational advantages, but stray coupling ("crosstalk") can degrade gate quality. IQM's quantum computers address this with tunable coupler technology based on transmons, enabling full idling of interaction, minimizing errors and enabling fast gates (20 ns – 40 ns). Although tunable couplers increase the effective number of qubits on the QPU by a factor of 2-3 times, IQM has successfully implemented this technology to maintain exceptional QPU quality. IQM achieves high fidelity even in large QPUs with extremely fast gate execution.
With 20 and 54 high-fidelity computational qubits, significant advances are foreseen in the field of executing quantum algorithms from optimization, simulation, and quantum machine learning for several application domains, such as life sciences, chemistry, or industrials. With 150 qubit IQM Radiance, end users will be able to discover new science and push to the frontier of quantum utility on the hardest computational problems, as this is far beyond the number of qubits that can be simulated on classical hardware.
We are committed to delivering best-in-class fidelity with our quantum systems to enable usability. With IQM Radiance, you can access the full range of qubits for your quantum research. We achieve this through high-quality qubits with industry-leading fidelities, enabling us to execute many steps of quantum circuits and to fully entangle qubits. This makes our superconducting qubits highly useful for quantum algorithms.
Even though the lifetime of superconducting qubits is not very high, our extremely fast gates last 1/1000 of the qubit lifetimes, enabling deep algorithm executions. The Circuit Layer Operations per Second (CLOPS) are much higher than in other qubit technologies, which removes the bottleneck in the effective integration of our quantum systems with classical computers in so-called hybrid environments, to executive variational algorithms.
Our QPUs are based on full square grid topology to enable high parallelization together with short distances across the chip and consequently improved algorithm performance. This is favorable to reach a high level of entanglement, and sub-patches of qubits can be defined with high flexibility. This allows Radiance to define optimal clusters for calculation on a large QPU with many qubits if the user decides to trade circuit depth for entangled qubits, or vice versa, depending on the type of algorithm the users is exploring.
Several proprietary software packages are available for integrating our systems into existing IT infrastructures. This has been successfully tested with systems delivered to VTT and LRZ. For end users, interfaces to standard programming interfaces, such as Cirq and Qiskit, are provided for direct execution of algorithms.
Leadership in quantum technologies has emerged as a major competition. By leveraging European technology, we support research centres and HPCs to maintain national sovereignty, ensuring access to parts, services, and upgrades even in uncertain times.
IQM is dedicated to providing computing power with a minimum carbon footprint. IQM is participating in the Quantum Energy Initiative (QEI), an international endeavor of 380 participants from over 56 countries which aims at a path towards energy-efficient, sustainable quantum technologies, and to bring out an energetic quantum advantage. Simulation of molecules, optimization of aerodynamic flows, or training of machine learning models require a very high amount of electricity in classical HPC centres with costs in the order of millions of Euros. In contrast, our systems consume less energy than a cozy Finnish sauna.
Our commitment to quality and excellence is exemplified by our successful partnership with institutions such as the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, where we built a remarkable 20-qubit quantum computer, achieving groundbreaking results. And we are already in the process of upgrading it into a 54-qubit system in the second quarter of 2024.
Q-Exa consortium was selected to integrate German quantum computer into HPC supercomputer for the first time to integrate a 20-qubit quantum computer at HPC center LRZ (Leibniz Supercomputing Centre) in Munich, Germany.
