IQM Quantum Computers has signed an agreement with Finland’s VTT Technical Research Centre to deliver two superconducting quantum computers: a 150-qubit system in 2026 and a 300-qubit system in 2027. The 300-qubit system will be the largest superconducting quantum computer procured to date and is composed of two 150-qubit processors. Both machines are purpose-built to support quantum error correction (QEC) research, enabling the development of fault-tolerant quantum computing technologies.
The systems will be fully integrated into Finland’s national high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure. This delivery builds upon IQM’s prior work with VTT, which included the delivery of 5-, 20-, and 50-qubit systems. The new computers will offer pulse-level control, tunable couplers, and an open software stack to facilitate hands-on research access and experimentation. The systems will also support algorithm development in areas such as circuit knitting and hybrid quantum-classical workflows.
IQM reports that it has shipped more on-premises quantum computers over the past 12 months than any other manufacturer. The company’s development roadmap emphasizes open hardware-software integration and support for local quantum ecosystems. The 300-qubit machine is intended as a testbed for demonstrating quantum utility and advancing QEC protocols.
