Toyo Corporation (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Toshiya Kono; hereinafter "Toyo Corporation") has decided to introduce and has placed an order for the "IQM Radiance" superconducting quantum computer manufactured by IQM Quantum Computers (Headquarters: Espoo, Finland; CEO: Jan Goetz; hereinafter "IQM"), a global leader in quantum computing.
This marks the first introduction of an IQM quantum computer in Japan. Through this deployment, Toyo Corporation will not only promote the sale of quantum computers but also develop use cases for research, expand utilization opportunities including cloud services, and contribute to the social implementation of quantum technology in Japan—a world leader in the field—by cultivating human resources using actual hardware.
[Background/Overview]
Toyo Corporation entered the quantum solutions business in July 2025 by signing a domestic distributorship agreement with IQM. In the course of activities aimed at the social implementation of quantum technology, there were needs from customers considering using quantum computers for verification with actual machines before introduction, research for integration with HPC (High Performance Computing), pay-per-use cloud utilization, and algorithm development and human resource cultivation using actual hardware.
To meet these needs, Toyo Corporation has decided to introduce the "IQM Radiance20," a high-end 20-qubit expansion model capable of experimental verification. It will be deployed for use in both on-premises and cloud environments. The sales agreement between the two companies was signed in April 2026, and the order has been completed. Delivery is scheduled by the end of 2026.
Commenting on this introduction, the CEOs of both companies stated:
Jan Goetz, CEO of IQM Quantum Computers:
"The true value of quantum technology is realized by operating and growing the infrastructure in-house. Leading companies worldwide are moving in this direction, and Toyo Corporation's introduction of an actual machine is a significant step toward realizing Japan's quantum strategy. Based on IQM's advanced quantum computing technology, we will contribute to the development of the quantum field in Japan."
Toshiya Kono, President and CEO of Toyo Corporation:
"The quantum field is an essential strategic area for future economic growth, especially for a new 'Manufacturing Japan.' The competition for practical application, including fusion with HPC, use case development, and business talent cultivation, has already begun beyond the theoretical and research stages. To spread quantum technology in Japanese industry as quickly as possible, we will promote world-leading social implementation with the cooperation of IQM."
In Japan, goals such as "10 million domestic users of quantum technology" and "50 trillion yen in production value by quantum technology" by 2030 have been set. Toyo Corporation will continue to collaborate with global partners to create use cases for quantum computers and quantum sensing, develop new business models, and promote human resource cultivation to advance the social implementation of quantum technology in Japan.
