IQM to Deliver 300-Qubit Quantum Computer for VTT Finland

Quantum Computing

IQM Quantum Computers (IQM), global industry experts in superconducting quantum technologies, has announced a new agreement with VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland for the delivery of two advanced quantum computers.

The systems—one with 150 qubits and the other with 300 qubits—are scheduled for delivery in 2026 and 2027, respectively, and will be integrated with Finland’s national high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure.

The 300-qubit system is specifically designed to support quantum error correction experiments, marking a crucial step toward the realization of fault-tolerant quantum computing. The system will also be used to advance hybrid quantum-classical algorithms such as circuit knitting, helping researchers explore near-term quantum utility.

IQM has previously delivered 5-qubit, 20-qubit, and 50-qubit systems to VTT, each contributing to the growth of Finland’s national quantum ecosystem. With this agreement, IQM will supply its most powerful system to date.

“We are excited to continue our long-term partnership with VTT and ship our next generation of quantum computers to power Finland’s quantum ecosystem,” said Mikko Välimäki, Co-CEO of IQM. “This system will mark a major step on our shared path to fault-tolerant quantum computing.”

“This 300-qubit superconducting quantum computer will be the largest of its kind procured anywhere in the world, with an aggressive delivery timeline,” added Piia Konstari, Project Manager for VTT’s quantum procurement.

Over the past year, IQM has shipped more on-premises quantum systems than any other manufacturer, with deployments at universities and high-performance computing (HPC) centers worldwide. Its open software and hardware architecture allows for pulse-level control of qubits, enabling direct research access and experimentation.

“This project underscores our roadmap commitment,” said Jan Goetz, IQM’s Co-CEO and Co-founder. “With tunable couplers, HPC integration, and an open software stack, we aim to support the research community in advancing quantum error correction and achieving real-world quantum utility.”
