IQM to Deploy Japan's First Enterprise-Purchased Quantum Computer

IQM Quantum Computers has reached an agreement with TOYO Corporation for the sale and deployment of an IQM Radiance 20-qubit system. This transaction marks the first instance of an enterprise-purchased quantum computer deployment in Japan. The full-stack superconducting system is scheduled for delivery by the end of 2026 and will be accessible to Japanese researchers and industrial users via both on-premises and cloud environments.

The deployment is intended to support Japan’s national quantum strategy, which targets 10 million domestic users and 50 trillion yen in production value by 2030. TOYO Corporation will utilize the hardware to develop industry-specific use cases, integrate quantum processing with high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure, and facilitate technical workforce training. This system represents IQM’s third major deployment in the Asia-Pacific region, following established installations in South Korea and Taiwan.

According to Jan Goetz, CEO of IQM, the purchase signals a shift toward leading enterprises owning and operating their own quantum infrastructure to build long-term capabilities. TOYO Corporation, a provider of advanced measurement solutions across sectors such as autonomous vehicles and sustainable energy, plans to use the Radiance system to advance "social implementation" of quantum technologies in Japan. The partnership aims to transition the local quantum ecosystem from theoretical research toward practical, manufacturing-integrated applications.
