According to a recent LinkedIn post from IQM Quantum Computers, the Euro-Q-Exa quantum computer based on IQM’s Radiance platform is now operational at the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre in Garching, Munich. The system reportedly features 54 superconducting qubits and is described as the first EuroHPC Joint Undertaking quantum computer for Germany.

The post indicates that a second, more powerful Euro-Q-Exa system with 150 qubits is planned for delivery by the end of 2026, which would further expand Europe’s operational quantum capacity. The inauguration event drew senior EU and German policymakers, suggesting strong public-sector backing for IQM’s role in Europe’s quantum and high-performance computing infrastructure.
IQM’s LinkedIn post also claims that over the last five years it has sold more quantum computers than any other company globally, positioning the firm as a leading supplier in a nascent but strategically important market. For investors, this could imply growing revenue opportunities tied to government-funded research infrastructure and hybrid quantum–HPC applications across Europe.
The deployment at LRZ may enhance IQM’s credibility with both public and private-sector clients, potentially strengthening its competitive position against international quantum hardware vendors. If the 150-qubit system is delivered on schedule and demonstrates reliable performance, it could support longer-term contracts and ecosystem development, although commercial adoption timelines for quantum computing remain uncertain.
