IQM Deploys Its First U.S. Quantum Computer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Superconducting hardware developer IQM Quantum Computers has achieved its first physical installation on U.S. soil with the deployment of Pathfinder, a 20-qubit IQM Radiance system, at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The processor represents ORNL’s first-ever commercially procured quantum computer and has been installed directly within the facility’s high-performance computing (HPC) ecosystem. By physically housing the machine alongside Frontier—the world’s most powerful supercomputer for open science—ORNL’s Tech Integration Group can directly engineer and test low-latency, hybrid quantum-classical hardware connections.
