IQM Quantum Computers has deployed its 20-qubit Radiance quantum computer, named Pathfinder, at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). This marks IQM's first installation of a commercial quantum system in the United States. The on-premises deployment allows ORNL researchers to develop hybrid workflows connecting the new quantum hardware with existing high-performance computing systems for advanced research.

Key points

  • IQM deployed Pathfinder, a 20-qubit quantum computer, at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).
  • The on-premises deployment model allows ORNL to maintain absolute governance over the hardware and generated intellectual property.
  • Researchers will use the system to develop hybrid workflows for advanced materials simulations, molecular chemistry, and AI.
  • This milestone strengthens America's quantum science leadership and is part of IQM's growing U.S. commercial footprint.
  • The deployment occurred ahead of IQM's planned Nasdaq listing through a business combination expected in mid-2026.
