The U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, or ORNL, has launched Pathfinder, the first commercially procured quantum computer at the federally funded research and development center.
Built and deployed by IQM Quantum Computers, the 20-qubit IQM Radiance system marks the superconducting hardware developer's first quantum computer installation in the United States.
The deployment comes ahead of IQM's planned listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market through its business combination with Real Asset Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: RAAQ), expected to close in mid-2026.
