IQM joins HPE hybrid quantum-HPC platform collaboration

Hewlett Packard Enterprise has named IQM Quantum Computers as one of the collaborators on its hybrid classical-quantum computing platform, announced at HPE Discover in Las Vegas. IQM is contributing superconducting quantum processor technology to the effort, in which HPE is integrating multiple quantum modalities with its Cray supercomputing infrastructure.

IQM, headquartered in Espoo, Finland, has sold 23 quantum systems globally to date. The company recently completed its first on-premises quantum computer installation in the United States, at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

"IQM is relentlessly focusing on Production Quantum and scaling the adoption of quantum computing through data-center integration: the work that matters now is closing the gap between a quantum computer that runs in a lab and one that runs in a data center; being part of HPE's platform and live at Oak Ridge is that work, for customers who own their systems," said Jan Goetz, CEO and co-founder of IQM Quantum Computers.

IQM is also collaborating with Nvidia on agentic calibration, applying artificial intelligence to quantum system operations at scale.

The company intends to list on the Nasdaq Global Exchange by mid-2026 through a merger with Real Asset Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: RAAQ). IQM recently announced an upsized private investment in public equity of over $146 million, including a commitment from Finnish pension fund Ilmarinen, ahead of the planned listing.

Among IQM's existing system commitments, the company says it will deliver a quantum computer to Galaxy Systemy Informatyczne in Poland, which it describes as the first private enterprise purchase of one of its systems, and to TOYO Corporation in Japan.
