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.

Article content

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.”
