IQM Quantum Computers (IQM), a global leader in building quantum computers, today announced its expansion into the United States market and signed a strategic partnership with the University of California, Berkeley, in Quantum Information Science (QIS) through the development and operation of the next generation of advanced superconducting quantum processors.
The expansion aligns with IQM's long-term strategy to drive quantum education and research while collaborating with high-performance computing (HPC) service providers across the US to commercialize its disruptive technology.
The US expansion will also offer IQM a myriad of opportunities to integrate with quantum research organisations. “In the long term, we aim at gaining a major foothold in the US market, driven by our unique technical capabilities," said Dr. Juha Vartiainen, Global Affairs Officer and Co-founder of IQM Quantum Computers.
IQM recently announced its flagship product IQM Radiance and educational product IQM Spark. “The expansion is truly a big bang for IQM, and kicking it off together with UC Berkeley is exactly in line with our mission. We want to drive quantum democratisation and reach out to the American educational market to address a burning problem: the lack of quantum talent,” added Vartiainen.
Partnership with UC Berkeley
The partnership between IQM and UC Berkeley will develop the next generation of advanced superconducting quantum processors. The teams at IQM and UC Berkeley will fabricate 3D-integrated versions of novel quantum processors that have high quantum coherence and minimal levels of unwanted crosstalk. Both teams have extensive experience in the design, modelling, and fabrication of quantum hardware.
