DLR QCI in Europe has begun offering cloud computing time on IQM's superconducting quantum computers through Bechtle. In Japan, TOYO Corporation is promoting the sale and operation of IQM systems as IQM's domestic point of contact. The arrangement runs through June 2027, and an operating structure that includes hybrid processing is taking shape.
In Europe, a framework has been announced under which cloud computing time on IQM's superconducting quantum computers will be provided to DLR QCI through Bechtle, an IT services company. The platform is IQM Resonance, and access will be available through June 2027. Dedicated classical servers will be deployed at IQM's data centre to support hybrid processing combining HPC and quantum computing.
DLR QCI has opened external access to systems based on ion traps, neutral atoms, photons and NV centres, among other technologies, and superconducting systems will now be added. Funding will be provided by the German federal government, and the partnership between Bechtle and IQM began in 2024. The procurement was conducted publicly, and Bechtle and IQM are reported to have won the contract.
In Japan, TOYO Corporation serves as the sales and domestic point of contact for IQM Spark and IQM Radiance, accelerating their deployment in Japan. The companies signed a sales agreement in August 2025, and IQM Radiance20 is scheduled to be deployed at AIST G-QuAT in April 2026. A plan was also announced to purchase an additional IQM Spark in September and link the 2 systems.
IQM reported cumulative sales of 26 systems, 17 deliveries and an order backlog exceeding €121 million since its Nasdaq listing in July 2026. First-half revenue was approximately €8.9 million, with the majority concentrated among 2 large customers.
