Finland-based IQM Quantum Computers will deploy Poland’s first superconducting quantum computer at the Wrocław University of Science and Technology (WUST) in Q2 2025. The installation of the 5-qubit IQM Spark system marks a pivotal step in expanding Poland’s quantum computing infrastructure and research capacity.
The deployment positions Poland as a new entrant in the global landscape of quantum-ready nations. As the first of its kind in the country and the broader Eastern European region, the Spark system uses low-temperature superconducting qubit technology and delivers a full-stack quantum computing experience.
Professor Wojciech Bożejko of WUST remarks. “This system will provide students with practical exposure to real quantum systems and help develop a new wave of IT specialists.” The system will be accessible to researchers, doctoral candidates, and students, including members of WUST’s quantum computing club. WUST plans to inaugurate the system at the Wrocław Centre for Networking and Supercomputing, aligning the launch with the center’s 30th anniversary. The move is expected to accelerate research in computer science and enhance student access to hands-on quantum programming. The university, with over 20,000 students and nearly 600 research and educational labs, has a strong track record of innovation and patent production. WUST’s investment in quantum infrastructure reflects broader national ambitions to become a leader in next-generation computing.
The installation is part of IQM’s ongoing strategy to strengthen its presence in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), following the establishment of its Warsaw office in 2024. IQM aims to lead the region’s quantum technology ecosystem through partnerships, talent development, and localized solutions.
