The 20-qubit system, which is operational at Aalto University, is the fourth quantum computer deployed by IQM in Finland, marking a milestone in the country’s growing quantum technology ecosystem. Finland has recently been characterized as the number two global quantum cluster and is amongst the top five countries for quantum patent applications.
Article content
“When institutions like Aalto University own their quantum computers, it means their data, their IP, and their expertise stay theirs. That’s not a feature — that’s a strategic posture to enable world-class research and education. Aalto Q20 is Finland’s fourth proof point that IQM´s strategy to empower customers is a winning strategy” said Jan Goetz, CEO and Co-founder of IQM Quantum Computers.
Article content
Aalto University aims to use the quantum computer to educate future talent in quantum engineering. The advanced specifications of the systems make it one of the highest performant quantum computers deployed at a university, allowing world-class research in quantum computing.

The installation builds on IQM’s investments in education and collaboration with universities, research institutions, industry and policymakers in advancing research. Together with other offerings like IQM Academy the quantum computer installation is supporting the growing needs of the quantum ecosystem in Finland.
Article content
The Finnish quantum industry is projected to need around 3,000 new skilled employees to maintain the country’s leading position and deliver the goals laid out in the national quantum technology strategy. IQM’s deployment at Aalto directly addresses the talent gap and development.
Article content
In addition, the installation strengthens Finland’s quantum computing capabilities and expands the domestic supercomputing infrastructure. For this purpose, Aalto University is also collaborating with CSC – IT Center for Science to integrate AaltoQ20 with LUMI, one of the EuroHPC pre-exascale supercomputers, to provide access to a broader community of users across the European Union.
Article content
With a proven scalable deployment track record, IQM’s approach is to power local quantum ecosystems with an open and transparent hardware and software platform.

“As Finland’s fourth quantum computer, the Q20 is a show of strength for the Finnish quantum ecosystem of universities, companies, and research organizations. Q20 allows Aalto to have its own computer for researchers to easily access and students in the quantum technology major will get to use it as part of their studies, which is rare even on a global scale,” said Professor Tapio Ala-Nissilä of Department of Applied Physics at Aalto University.
