Milestone note Jun 2026
First commercially-procured quantum computer at a US national lab
Reached
IQM / Oak Ridge National Laboratory — A 20-qubit IQM Radiance system ("Pathfinder") went live at Oak Ridge National Laboratory on 16 Jun 2026 — Finnish superconducting maker IQM's first US installation and the first commercially-procured quantum computer at the lab. It is co-located with Frontier, the world's most powerful open-science supercomputer, for HPC–quantum integration in the National Center for Computational Sciences test bed. The deployment comes ahead of IQM's planned Nasdaq listing via a business combination with Real Asset Acquisition Corp. (RAAQ).
