ORNL's deployment of IQM's 20-qubit Pathfinder system marks a significant step in integrating on-premise quantum hardware with classical high-performance computing environments for research applications. This acquisition expands the laboratory's capability to develop new algorithms and architectures within its Quantum Science Center, reinforcing the U.S. position in developing practical quantum-centric HPC paradigms.
ORNL Deploys New IQM Quantum Computer
Newswise — With its acquisition of an on-site 20-qubit IQM Radiance quantum computer, the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory has taken another major stride forward in its research efforts to integrate quantum computing technology with classical high-performance computing (HPC). The new system, named Pathfinder, was launched June 16 in the Quantum Computer Deployment Lab at ORNL’s Translational Research Capability (TRC) building. “By adding Pathfinder to the array of cutting-edge systems available to our computational scientists, ORNL deepens its commitment to making the U.S.…
