With a New Integration Service, IQM Quantum Computers Crosses the Quantum-HPC Divide
To convert quantum computers from scientific curiosities into commercial tools, IQM Quantum Computers launched its HPC Integration Service. This solution is designed to enable IQM Radiance quantum devices to function smoothly as computational nodes in current high-performance computing (HPC) environments. IQM integrates directly into the operations of the world’s top supercomputing centers to overcome technological “bottlenecks” that have prevented hybrid quantum-classical computing adoption.

A Unified Workflow for the Supercomputing Era
The process of integrating quantum technology into conventional supercomputing infrastructures has been disjointed and time-consuming for many years. Quantum computers has present at customer locations, but they have normally worked alongside the HPC software stack. Since each deployment needed a unique, non-reusable integration, researchers and business users faced a huge challenge.
To address this, in addition to CPUs (Central Processing Units) and GPUs (Graphics Processing Units), the new HPC Integration Service enables the planning and management of IQM Radiance systems. This is completed by integrating with Slurm, an open-source workload management that is highly scalable and flexible, and is preferred by the majority of worldwide supercomputing facilities. Researchers may now submit quantum jobs using the same interfaces and schedulers they have used for decades to handle conventional workloads by considering the quantum computer as simply another cluster node.

Standardization Using QDMI
The Quantum Device Management Interface (QDMI) is a key element of this new service. QDMI was created as an open-source standardization layer with the goal of streamlining the vendor-specific software interfaces that had previously resulted in a disjointed quantum environment.
The QDMI is an essential component of the Munich Quantum Software Stack, according to Prof. Dieter Kranzlmüller, chairman of the Leibniz Supercomputing Center’s (LRZ) board of directors. It’s a big step toward a future where people won’t need to know the technology to run complex programs. While researchers use well-known tools to perform benchmarks across different systems, system teams are able to preserve their current operating models because to this standardization.

“Production Quantum” in Action
IQM’s more general “production quantum” concept is reflected in the debut of this service. Customers will “own, operate, and build value on” quantum technology in real-world settings, according to Jan Goetz, CEO and co-founder of IQM. Goetz pointed out that end users may now fully turn their attention from creating new routines to carrying out genuine quantum tasks by eliminating the difficulty of integration.
The Leibniz Supercomputing Center in Germany is now using the service in production. As the main location for showcasing these hybrid quantum-HPC workloads, LRZ now houses four IQM quantum computers. A co-authored publication with researchers from the Munich Quantum Software Company (MQSC) further demonstrated the integration’s efficacy.
Expanding Global Footprint and Market Ambitions
IQM’s position in the industry is further strengthened by its significant contribution to global supercomputing. Four of the top ten supercomputing facilities in the world presently host the company’s on-premises systems.IQM has made a name for itself as a vital provider for companies building their own quantum capabilities, having supplied more quantum systems than any other firm to date.
This technological achievement occurs at a critical point in the company’s business development. IQM said in February 2026 that it will be the first European quantum business to go public on a major U.S. stock exchange. This will be accomplished by merging with Real Asset Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: RAAQ). IQM is anticipated to list on the Nasdaq following the completion of the deal, and a possible dual listing on the Helsinki Stock Exchange is also being considered.
