IQM to Deploy Quantum Computer to TOYO in Japan
Summarize this article with:
Insider Brief IQM Quantum Computers will deploy a 20-qubit system to TOYO Corporation, marking the first enterprise quantum computer purchase in Japan. The system will support enterprise and research use cases, with integration into HPC infrastructure and availability via on-premises and cloud access. The deployment aligns with Japan’s national quantum strategy focused on scaling users, applications, and economic output. PRESS RELEASE — IQM Quantum Computers, the global leader in superconducting quantum computers, today announced the purchase of its full-stack 20-qubit quantum computer by TOYO Corporation, marking the first enterprise quantum system deployment in Japan.The Radiance 20-qubit system will be made available in both on-premises and cloud environments and will be delivered by the end of 2026. The deployment expands IQM’s installed base across the Asia-Pacific region, where the company already has deployed systems in South Korea and Taiwan. TOYO will operate the quantum computer to support Japanese enterprises and researchers in developing quantum use cases, while integrating the system with high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure and building the technical workforce Japan’s quantum strategy demands. Japan has one of the largest publicly funded national quantum programs. The country has set some of the most ambitious national quantum targets of any country — 10 million domestic users of quantum technologies and 50 trillion yen in quantum-generated production value by 2030. Meeting those targets requires more than research programs. It requires institutions that own, operate, and grow with real quantum hardware. Commenting on the deployment, Jan Goetz, CEO and Co-founder of IQM Quantum Computers, said: “Leading enterprises are building real quantum capabilities by owning the infrastructure, operating it, and growing with it. TOYO’s commitment to this approach represents an important step in realizing Japan´s national quantum strategy based on IQM´s leading quantum computing technology.” Toshiya Kohno, Representative Director, President and CEO, TOYO Corporation, said: “Quantum technology is an essential strategic field for future economic growth, especially for the new era of Japanese manufacturing. The competition for practical implementation—such as integration with HPC, use-case development, and business talent development—has already begun, moving beyond theory and research. With the cooperation of IQM, we will promote the social implementation of quantum technologies in Japan ahead of the world.” Mohib Ur Rehman LinkedIn Mohib has been tech-savvy since his teens, always tearing things apart to see how they worked.
