From early roots to European quantum computers: the IQM Quantum Computers story

IQM Quantum Computers was founded in Finland in 2018 to build superconducting quantum-computing hardware and complete systems.

How IQM Quantum Computers developed

The company developed processors, control electronics and on-premises quantum computers for research centres and high-performance-computing environments. It expanded across Europe and moved into public markets in 2026 after years of private funding.

IQM Quantum Computers in 2026

By September 2026, IQM was a publicly traded European quantum-computing company supplying full-stack superconducting systems and cloud access.

IQM is significant for Europe because it represents an effort to keep quantum hardware, fabrication expertise and system integration within the region rather than relying entirely on US or Chinese suppliers.
