Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has added IQM Quantum Computers’ cloud service, IQM Resonance, to its Quantum Computing User Program (QCUP), enabling global access to advanced quantum processing units (QPUs). Researchers and developers worldwide can now utilize IQM’s Crystal and Star topologies for cutting-edge computational applications.
The IQM Crystal QPU features a square-lattice topology optimized for high-fidelity quantum computations, while the IQM Star QPU employs a star-shaped topology with a central resonator, enhancing quantum error correction and algorithm accuracy. This integration supports QCUP’s mission of expanding quantum information science ecosystems and providing over 400 users access to diverse quantum computing resources.
This collaboration strengthens IQM’s position within the U.S. quantum ecosystem and ORNL’s role in advancing quantum research. IQM’s high-connectivity architectures offer significant advantages in accuracy and efficiency, addressing scientific and computational challenges at scale.
ORNL’s Travis Humble emphasized the importance of enabling researchers to explore new quantum approaches, while IQM’s Co-CEO Mikko Välimäki highlighted the partnership’s potential to drive innovation and global advancements in quantum technology.
