IQM Deploys 54-Qubit Quantum Computer at CESGA in Spain

IQM Quantum Computers will deploy a 54-qubit IQM Radiance system and a 5-qubit IQM Spark at the CESGA supercomputing center in Spain. These full-stack quantum computers, scheduled for delivery by June 2026, represent the first IQM installation in the country. The deployment will expand CESGA’s computing capabilities and support research across multiple sectors.

CESGA to Deploy 54-Qubit IQM Radiance and 5-Qubit Spark Systems

The Radiance system is specifically designed to integrate with existing high-performance computing centers, while the Spark system will focus on educational applications of quantum computing. This deployment marks the first installation of IQM quantum computers within Spain, placing CESGA among leading European research facilities. This expansion of CESGA’s capabilities will be paired with a new supercomputer, Finisterrae IV, and a large-capacity data storage system. Researchers and companies will gain access to experiment with combined quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and traditional high-performance computing workflows. The initiative aims to foster a practical quantum ecosystem and strengthen Spain’s position in next-generation technologies.

IQM Expands Global Quantum Computing Infrastructure to Spain & Beyond

This deployment positions CESGA as a leading European center, joining facilities in Germany, Finland, and Italy that are integrating quantum systems into existing high-performance computing infrastructure. The addition of these quantum computers will complement CESGA’s new Finisterrae IV supercomputer, enabling hybrid workflows combining quantum, AI, and conventional computing. IQM’s focus is delivering production-grade quantum infrastructure into real-world HPC environments, and the company has a global presence with teams in over a dozen countries including France, Germany, and the United States. The combined systems will support research, skills development, and access for companies across multiple sectors.
