How Europe’s IQM became a quantum computing soloist
While the world’s focus is on the AI market, more interesting developments are taking place at a sub-atomic level - or at least, that’s the view of Jan Goetz, co-founder and CEO of IQM Quantum Computers.
Unlike some of its lab-based competitors, Finland-based IQM sought to become a viable commercial operation quickly, completing its $1.8 billion dual listing on Nasdaq and Nasdaq Helsiki in July.

This particular unicorn claims to be global leader in on-premises quantum computer deliveries over the past year – 26 or more systems have been delivered, Goetz tells me, including to four of the world's top ten supercomputing centers.
