IQM Deploys Its First U.S. Quantum Computer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory Published Tuesday, June 16, 2026 | 11:53 a.m. Updated Tuesday, June 16, 2026 | 11:53 a.m. OAK RIDGE, Tenn. & ESPOO, Finland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 16, 2026-- The Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) today launched Pathfinder, the first commercially procured quantum computer at ORNL, built and deployed by IQM Quantum Computers. The 20-qubit IQM Radiance system marks IQM's first quantum computer installation in the United States. This press release features multimedia.

The deployment comes ahead of IQM's planned listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market through its business combination with Real Asset Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: RAAQ), expected to close in mid-2026. ORNL is home to Frontier, the world's most powerful supercomputer for open science, and to one of the most consequential high-performance computing environments anywhere. Pathfinder now sits inside that environment, connected to HPC systems in the National Center for Computational Sciences Technology Integration Group's test bed, where ORNL researchers will develop the methods and tools for a hybrid quantum-HPC ecosystem. "Our first U.S. system now sits on Oak Ridge campus, connected to their HPC environment, owned and operated by their teams,” said Jan Goetz, CEO and Co-founder of IQM. “Quantum becomes useful when it works inside real computing infrastructure, and there is no better place to prove that. Oak Ridge is a place where serious computing is done.” ORNL owns and operates Pathfinder directly, rather than accessing quantum capability remotely through the cloud. This is the model behind every IQM deployment: customers take direct ownership and control of their quantum infrastructure, including the intellectual property they build on it. It is the reason national laboratories, HPC
