The Era of the Quantum Supercomputer - Kristine Rezai

Rezai, Kristine

IQM Quantum Computers is pioneering the integration of quantum computing (QC) with high performance computing (HPC). I will begin by provide a brief overview of IQM Quantum Computers, highlighting recent key technical advances, before presenting collaborative research done with our partners. Some of the first practical constructions of quantum supercomputers have only occurred this past year. In this talk, I will describe how, together with our partners, we have built a quantum supercomputer, and I will discuss the unique scientific capabilities it has unlocked.

Technology and Performance Benchmarks of IQM's 20-Qubit Quantum Computer

Leonid Victorovich Abdurakhimov, Adam, Janos, Ahmad, Hasnain +97 more

Quantum computing has tremendous potential to overcome some of the fundamental limitations present in classical information processing. Yet, today's technological limitations in the quality and scaling prevent exploiting its full potential. Quantum computing based on superconducting quantum processing units (QPUs) is among the most promising approaches towards practical quantum advantage. In this article the basic technological approach of IQM Quantum Computers is described covering both the QPU and the rest of the full-stack quantum computer. In particular, the focus is on a 20-qubit quantum computer featuring the Garnet QPU and its architecture, which we will scale up to 150 qubits. We also present QPU and system-level benchmarks, including a median 2-qubit gate fidelity of 99.5% and genuinely entangling all 20 qubits in a Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state.

Practical HPCQC Integration with QDMI: A Real-Hardware Case Study with IQM Systems

Lukas Burgholzer, Marcel Walter, Patrick Hopf +7 more

Quantum computers are moving into HPC centers, and the main challenge is now integration rather than pure hardware access. Many current software paths still depend on vendor-specific adapter chains between user SDKs, schedulers, and backend APIs. This pattern makes operations more complex than necessary and slows the transition from pilots to production workflows. We present a practical integration path centered on the Quantum Device Management Interface (QDMI). Using IQM superconducting systems as a hardware case study, we implement an IQM-backed QDMI layer and connect it to two software layers that HPC centers working with quantum computers already care about: Slurm-based job execution and Qiskit-facing user workflows. The implementation is publicly available at https://github.com/iqm-finland/QDMI-on-IQM. The key message is simple: integrating quantum hardware into HPC does not have to be a bespoke engineering effort for each backend. Once the software-hardware boundary is standardized, large parts of the stack become reusable across providers and deployment styles. Our results do not claim that standardization eliminates all HPCQC challenges. They show that this specific boundary can already be standardized today in a way that is practical for users, operators, and vendors.
