Superconducting hardware manufacturer IQM Quantum Computers (NASDAQ: IQMX) has been selected by CSC – IT Center for Science to deploy Europe’s first logical-qubit-capable superconducting quantum computer.

The initial 2027 deployment will feature an IQM Halocene H4 platform equipped with 150 physical qubits and early quantum error correction (QEC) capabilities.

Upon final phase completion, LUMI-IQ will support up to 9 fault-tolerant logical qubits using distance-3 surface and color codes, with structural capacity to encode single logical qubits up to distance-11 surface codes and distance-9 color codes.

The contract reinforces IQM’s on-premises ownership model and follows its public listing on NASDAQ under ticker IQMX as Europe’s first publicly traded quantum hardware company.
