IQM Lands World-First Private Enterprise Quantum Sale with 54-Qubit System

IQM Quantum Computers has achieved a first by selling a 54-qubit quantum system to Poland’s Galaxy Systemy Informatyczne, marking the initial commercial adoption of quantum computing by a private enterprise. The Radiance system, slated for installation in the fourth quarter of 2026, will be the most advanced quantum computer in Poland, powering applications in space technology, finance, and energy. This deployment provides Galaxy with complete technological independence, allowing them to maintain quantum workloads on-site and avoid reliance on external cloud providers. “The installation of the IQM Radiance 54-qubit quantum computer in our data center is a turning point not only for Galaxy, but for the entire Polish digital economy,” said Jacek Michalski, CEO of Galaxy Systemy Informatyczne, reinforcing Poland’s growing presence within the European quantum ecosystem.

This deployment extends IQM’s footprint, adding to existing installations in Germany, Finland, Italy, and Spain, and solidifies the company’s position as a leading provider of quantum hardware. The strategic implications for Galaxy are considerable; the company will gain complete control over its quantum workloads, bypassing reliance on external cloud-based quantum services. This on-site capability is intended to foster innovation across sectors including space technology, finance, and energy, while simultaneously bolstering Poland’s growing quantum ecosystem and supporting talent development. IQM’s CEO and Co-founder, Jan Goetz, emphasized the broader impact of this sale, stating, “The deployment of our quantum computer at Galaxy demonstrates that we are building enterprise-ready products enabling customers to build their own capabilities.” With 21 quantum systems sold to 13 customers globally, IQM is focused on building a robust quantum ecosystem through accessible, transparent hardware and software solutions, and is actively pursuing a dual listing on the Helsinki and U.S. stock exchanges.

Poland is rapidly establishing itself as a key player in the European quantum technology sector, recently becoming the first nation to host a quantum computer purchased by a private enterprise. Galaxy Systemy Informatyczne, a Polish firm specializing in IT solutions, has acquired a 54-qubit Radiance system from IQM Quantum Computers, a move that positions the company as a pioneer in commercial quantum adoption and significantly bolsters Poland’s domestic capabilities.

IQM’s Expanding European Quantum Ecosystem & Sales

IQM Quantum Computers’ recent sale to Galaxy Systemy Informatyczne in Poland signifies a pivotal moment in the commercialization of quantum computing, establishing the first private enterprise globally to adopt the technology. This deployment is designed to foster a robust quantum ecosystem within Poland, supporting talent development and research collaborations between industry and academia, and strengthening the nation’s position within the broader European quantum landscape, a goal supported by Poland’s “recognized, rich traditions in the fields of quantum physics, mathematics and computer science.” The establishment of research laboratories for both business and scientific endeavors is anticipated as a direct result of this investment.
