IQM Quantum Computers has entered into a commercial agreement with Galaxy Systemy Informatyczne for the on-premises delivery of an IQM Radiance 54-qubit system. Scheduled for installation at Galaxy’s data center in Zielona Góra, Poland, in the fourth quarter of 2026, the superconducting quantum computer will be integrated with the firm’s existing High-Performance Computing (HPC) infrastructure. This transaction represents an instance of direct hardware procurement by a private IT service provider, following IQM’s previous deployments at public research hubs such as LRZ in Germany and CINECA in Italy.
The acquisition is intended to provide Galaxy with a dedicated hardware environment to support internal R&D and secure data processing. By maintaining the 54-qubit system on-site, the company aims to reduce its reliance on external cloud-based quantum services and manage the security of sensitive workloads in-house. Galaxy has identified several target application areas for the system, including space technologies, financial market modeling, and energy grid optimization. The integration of quantum resources into their existing HPC stack is designed to facilitate the development of hybrid algorithms for these industrial sectors.
This deployment follows IQM’s established roadmap for its Radiance line, which utilizes a superconducting transmon architecture with tunable couplers. To date, IQM has sold 21 quantum systems to 13 customers globally, primarily within the academic and national laboratory sectors. The Zielo Góra installation will add to Poland’s technical infrastructure, leveraging the region’s existing expertise in mathematics and physics. As the hardware is scheduled for commissioning in late 2026, the focus for both entities will remain on the engineering requirements of the site installation and the subsequent calibration of the system’s gate fidelities.
