TOYO's Quantum Leap with IQM Technology
IQM Quantum Computers has announced the deployment of Japan’s first enterprise quantum computer to TOYO Corporation, with delivery expected by the end of 2026. This significant step forward for Japan’s quantum technology infrastructure highlights the country’s commitment to advancing in this field.
The Radiance 20-qubit system from IQM will be available both on-premises and via cloud platforms. This system will facilitate Japanese enterprises and researchers in exploring quantum use cases and integrating them with existing high-performance computing infrastructure.
This deployment marks the third quantum computer installation by IQM in the Asia-Pacific region, following earlier placements in South Korea and Taiwan. IQM continues to strengthen its position as a global leader in superconducting quantum computers.
Jan Goetz, CEO and Co-founder of IQM Quantum Computers, stated, “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.”
TOYO’s Quantum Leap with IQM Technology
TOYO Corporation aims to advance quantum technology development in Japan by integrating the Radiance system with their high-performance computing systems. This effort aligns with Japan’s ambitious quantum technology targets, which include reaching 10 million domestic users and generating 50 trillion yen in quantum-enabled production by 2030.
Japan boasts one of the largest publicly funded national quantum programmes globally, emphasizing the necessity for institutions to own and operate quantum hardware to meet its national objectives.
Toshiya Kohno, Representative Director, President and CEO of TOYO Corporation, emphasised, “Quantum technology is an essential strategic field for future economic growth, especially for the new era of Japanese manufacturing. With the cooperation of IQM, we will promote the social implementation of quantum technologies in Japan ahead of the world.”
The partnership between IQM and TOYO is expected to boost Japan’s technical workforce and further enhance the country’s quantum technology capabilities, in line with its national strategy. TOYO is poised to explore various industry use cases for the quantum system, further integrating it with hybrid quantum-HPC infrastructures.
Japan’s national quantum strategy is ambitious, aiming to transform its technological landscape. The government has set a goal of achieving a production value of 50 trillion yen from quantum technologies by 2030, highlighting the importance of practical implementations.
