About
VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland is Finland's state-owned research institute and a leading quantum computing hardware developer in the Nordic region. VTT operates superconducting quantum computers on its campus, including a 5-qubit system and its Q50, a 50-qubit superconducting quantum computer connected to the LUMI supercomputer at CSC, which enables hybrid quantum-classical computing at European scale. VTT's roadmap targets 150-qubit and 300-qubit systems in later phases. VTT coordinates the EU Quantum Flagship project Qu-Pilot and participates in OpenSuperQ. It is a founding member of InstituteQ, Finland's quantum institute, which brings together Aalto University, the University of Helsinki, and VTT, and it coordinates BusinessQ, a quantum business network connecting Finnish industry to quantum capabilities. VTT also manufactures photon-number-resolving detectors for Xanadu's photonic quantum computer programme. VTT's quantum work extends to quantum sensors, superconducting microwave amplifiers commercialised through the spin-off Arctic Instruments, and cryogenic electronics. The institute provides quantum computing access to external researchers and companies through collaborative R&D services, proof-of-concept demonstrations, and technology validation programmes. In early 2025, VTT launched the 50-qubit VTT QX quantum computer, Finland's national quantum computing facility. IQM has been contracted to deliver a 150-qubit system in 2026 and a 300-qubit system in 2027, the largest QEC-focused quantum procurement globally.
