Products & Solutions
IQM Spark
A 5-qubit on-premises superconducting quantum computer designed for universities and research centres. It offers pulse-level control, single-qubit gate fidelity of 99.9% and two-qubit gate fidelity of 99.0%, allowing students and researchers to run real quantum experiments rather than simulators. Comes with educational materials and training support.
IQM Radiance
IQM's flagship on-premises quantum computing system for HPC centres and enterprises, currently available with 20 high-fidelity qubits and upgradeable to 54 qubits, with a roadmap to 150 qubits. Built for organisations that need dedicated quantum hardware under their own control rather than shared cloud access.
IQM Halocene
A modular, on-premises quantum computing platform aimed at quantum error correction research. Its flexible architecture lets research groups develop and own their results in error correction experiments, with the ability to customise the system to specific research workflows.
IQM Resonance
IQM's cloud quantum computing platform, giving researchers and developers remote access to multiple QPUs including 20-qubit, 24-qubit and 54-qubit systems. Compatible with popular frameworks such as Qiskit, Cirq and Cuda Quantum, with a free starter tier and pay-as-you-go options for broader access.
