IQM to Deliver Its 1st Quantum Computer in South America to Brazil’s Eldorado Research Institute

IQM Quantum Computers has signed a purchase agreement with Brazil's Eldorado Research Institute to install an IQM Spark superconducting quantum computer in Campinas. The deal marks IQM's first quantum computer deployment in South America and its entry into the region.

OutlookPlausible

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 Expands to South America with On-Premises QPU Sale to Brazil’s Eldorado Research Institute

IQM has agreed to supply an on-premises IQM Spark quantum computer to Brazil's Eldorado Research Institute, with installation planned for the first quarter of 2027. The deal is described as the first purchase of a quantum computer by a private research institution in Brazil and includes cloud access to IQM's European 54-qubit system.

OutlookPlausible

This could seed a self-sustaining Brazilian quantum research ecosystem by giving universities and private labs recurring local access to superconducting hardware without depending solely on remote cloud queues.

IQM sends its first quantum computer to Brazil’s Eldorado Institute

IQM Quantum Computers will deploy an IQM Spark quantum computer at the Eldorado Research Institute’s Campinas headquarters in 2027. The installation is expected to be Brazil’s first quantum computer from IQM. The system will be hosted on-site at the institute.

OutlookPlausible

An on-premises IQM Spark in Campinas could let Eldorado and nearby universities move beyond cloud-only access to direct pulse-level control and calibration experiments on a superconducting device.

LUMI AI Factory Selects IQM’s Halocene Roadmap for Europe’s First Superconducting Logical Qubit System

IQM Quantum Computers will deploy LUMI-IQ, a superconducting quantum computer designed to support logical qubits, at CSC's Kajaani, Finland data center. The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking is co-funding the system, which will be integrated into the LUMI AI Factory as a hybrid HPC-AI-quantum platform. Delivery is planned in three phases through 2029, beginning with 150 physical qubits.

OutlookPlausible

European researchers could begin co-scheduling quantum and classical HPC jobs within the existing LUMI environment in the next two years, testing hybrid algorithms before the full logical-qubit system is complete.

IQM and Deutsche Bahn Execute Hybrid Quantum Algorithm for Railway Scheduling

IQM Quantum Computers and Deutsche Bahn have successfully executed a hybrid quantum algorithm for railway scheduling. The collaboration applied quantum computing to optimize train timetables, demonstrating a practical use case for the technology.

OutlookPlausible

Deutsche Bahn could expand the hybrid quantum scheduling approach to a larger subset of its network, moving from proof-of-concept to a limited operational pilot, provided IQM's hardware scales to handle larger problem instances within the next two years.
