The on-premises IQM Spark could become a local hands-on testbed for superconducting quantum education and small-scale algorithm prototyping in Brazil, reducing dependence on remote cloud access to overseas machines.
IQM Spark is designed for on-site education and research with comparatively low operational overhead; Eldorado is a research institute in Campinas, a technology hub, and hosting the system locally lowers barriers to hands-on experimentation for nearby institutions.
