Announcing our entry into the US market and partnership with University of California, Berkeley! In another significant step forward in our global journey, we are excited to announce our expansion into the United States market. The expansion aligns with our strategy to drive quantum education and research while collaborating with high-performance computing (HPC) service providers across the US to commercialise our disruptive technology. The US expansion will also offer IQM a myriad of opportunities to integrate with quantum research organisations. “In the long term, we aim at gaining a major foothold in the US market, driven by our unique technical capabilities," said Dr. Juha Vartiainen, our Global Affairs Officer and Co-founder. Partnership with UC Berkeley: As the first concrete step, we have signed a strategic partnership with the University of California, Berkeley, in Quantum Information Science (QIS) through the development and operation of the next generation of advanced superconducting quantum processors. Irfan Siddiqi, Professor and Chair of the UC Berkeley Physics Department, stated, “We’re excited to take part in a new type of collaboration where we can combine fundamental new ideas from academia with dedicated commercial hardware on-site, in an open collaborative environment. This will, no doubt, accelerate progress towards impactful quantum computations.” Christopher Spitzer, Quantum Research Program Manager at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), added, “This is an example of what can be achieved through the Berkeley’s innovative partnership model, leveraging complementary strengths from across the quantum ecosystem to achieve outcomes that were previously out of reach.” #IQM #QuantumComputing #US Read the full press release here: https://lnkd.in/dRQtmby9 Jan Goetz Kuan Yen Tan Juha Vartiainen Dr. Wolfgang Hackenberg Alexia López Dr. Björn Pötter Sylwia Barthel de Weydenthal (she/her) Bayern Kapital European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) OurCrowd QCI SPV Tofino Varma Maki.vc Matadero QED MIG Fonds OpenOcean SALVIA GmbH Santo Venture Capital GmbH Tencent Tesi Vsquared Ventures World Fund Sierk Poetting Daria Saharova Axel Thierauf Ekaterina Almasque Mikko Välimäki Helmut Jeggle
