Oak Ridge National Laboratory Quantum Computer Deployment
IQM quantum computer deployed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, a US Department of Energy national laboratory.
Procurement and deployment of a 20-qubit IQM Radiance superconducting quantum computer, named 'Pathfinder' — IQM's first on-premises system in the U.S. and ORNL's first purchased quantum computer. Installed in the Quantum Computer Deployment Lab at ORNL's Translational Research Capability (TRC) building and linked to the lab's HPC infrastructure, it supports hybrid quantum-classical (QHPC) computing research for ORNL's Quantum Science Center and Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility.
