About IQM
Quantum Computers, Built For Real Impact
IQM is a global leader in building quantum computers
In 2018 a group of ambitious scientists took the (quantum) leap to turn their theory to practice. The team started with breakthroughs in developing the tech towards large-scale quantum processors. But what started as a quest to create the best quantum processing units (QPUs) evolved into building and delivering full-stack quantum computers that help create ecosystems for the quantum community worldwide.

IQM builds quantum computers from Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) era to fault-tolerant era. We make unparalleled progress on our roadmap because we are in a constant feedback loop with experts who use our computers to solve the unsolvable problems.
While innovating with quantum processors is crucial, there are tons of factors that go into delivering a quantum computer that actually works for its users in practice.
IQM’s approach is to build our tech stack user-first. Our technology is transparent, so our customers have full access to and control of their machines.
To become a leader in quantum computing and deliver our products at scale, IQM built commercial-grade assembly operations. Owning our facilities and processes combined with the boldest talent out there has put the company in a strong position in the quest to reach quantum advantage in the very near future.
Our mission
We build world-leading quantum computers for the well-being of humankind now and for the future.
Where we come from
IQM’s journey is all about pushing the limits of quantum technology. Dive into our biggest milestones and game-changing breakthroughs that make us the leader in quantum computing we are today.
