IQM's First Quantum Computer in Asia-Pacific Goes Online, Set to Open Office in Seoul
SEOUL, South Korea--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IQM Quantum Computers, a global leader in superconducting quantum computers, has announced expanding its presence in Asia-Pacific with a new office opening in South Korea in June 2025, following the installation of its first quantum system at Chungbuk National University (CBNU). The office in Seoul reinforces IQM's dedication to collaborating with research and academic institutions, high-performance computing (HPC) centers, and enterprises in advancing quantum technology. It also supports South Korea in building a vibrant quantum ecosystem and achieving the goals of its national quantum strategy. As part of the expansion, IQM has appointed Youngsim Kim as a Country Manager for South Korea. 'We are excited to welcome Youngsim, and with a wealth of quantum knowledge, leadership experience and regional expertise, we are confident she will drive our growth and strategic initiatives in Korea,' said Mikko Välimäki, Co-CEO of IQM Quantum Computers. Kim has over a decade of experience in various industries and a track record in sales, business transformations and change, and people leadership. 'I am particularly impressed with IQM's innovative technology approach and strategic focus on its global expansion. I am eager to contribute to the company's growth by driving new business opportunities and supporting customers,' she stated. This expansion builds on IQM's delivery of IQM Spark, a 5-qubit superconducting on-premises quantum computer at Chungbuk National University, marking a significant achievement for the company in deploying the system within four months. Cho Young-chul, Head of Chungbuk National University's Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation, said, "We hope that it will serve as a bridgehead to strengthen the competitiveness of future industries by carrying out practical R&D and spreading academic results using quantum computers," adding, "We will integrate quantum computing with various fields to support the development of talented people and the leading development of the quantum industry in Chungbuk." 'This latest deployment and record lead time further cements our role as a global leader in accelerating the adoption of quantum computing by making quantum computers more open, accessible and practical for researchers and university students worldwide,' added Välimäki.

IQM to Deploy Poland's First Superconducting Quantum Computer
The first quantum computer in Poland developed by IQM Quantum Computers, a global leader in superconducting quantum computers, will be operational at the Wrocław University of Science and Technology (WUST) in the second quarter of this year. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: IQM Spark quantum computer This instalment of a full-stack quantum computer marks a critical milestone in the country's technological advancement. The 5-qubit quantum computer called 'IQM Spark' will enable the university to spearhead research work mainly in the field of computer science. The system will also be made available to researchers, doctoral candidates, and computer science students. Some of the first users who will run their programmes on the system are expected to be members of the qubit quantum computing club operating at the university. 'This is the first quantum computer in our country and Eastern Europe using low-temperature superconducting qubit technology. The system will offer students in Poland direct access to the actual quantum computer for practical programming in quantum computing. Our goal is to conduct research and educate IT specialists,' said Professor Wojciech Bożejko, Faculty of Information and Communication Technology at WUST. Following its expansion to Poland last year with a new office, IQM has rolled out initiatives to support the country in building a sustainable quantum computing ecosystem. These include the acceleration of market adoption of quantum solutions while collaborating with key stakeholders and investing in local talent. The Co-CEO of IQM Quantum Computers, Mikko Välimäki, highlights the significance of the system for Poland: 'We are proud to deliver the nation's first quantum computer to strengthen its position as a leading hub in quantum development in Central and Eastern Europe, elevate research and have the potential to transform modern science and industry.' The Chief Commercial Officer and Country Director for the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) market at IQM, Sylwia Barthel de Weydenthal, added: 'With Poland's deep-rooted strengths in physics, mathematics, engineering, and computer science, Poland has the ideal foundation for nurturing local talent and fostering a new generation of scientists and engineers.' The university plans to inaugurate the system at the Wrocław Centre for Networking and Supercomputing to mark the 30th anniversary of the Centre. About Wrocław University of Science and Technology: Wrocław University of Science and Technology (Wrocław Tech) was established in 1945, mainly as a result of the involvement of the academic staff of the now-defunct Technical University of Lviv and the Jan Kazimierz University in Lviv, who adapted the destroyed buildings of the German School of Technology - Technische Hochschule. There are currently 20, 288 students, 758 people at the Doctoral School pursuing their degree programmes under the supervision of over 2, 296 academic teachers at Wrocław Tech's 14 faculties and three branches. We also have 1,312 foreign students from over 60 countries around the world. Each year, a number of our original technical solutions, patents, inventions, and technologies used in industry obtain patent protection. Over the past ten years alone, we have been granted 2, 822 patents, in which respect we are among the national leaders. The university has 581 educational laboratories, 407 research laboratories, and 8 accredited laboratories. About IQM Quantum Computers: IQM is a global leader in superconducting quantum computers.
