Quantum-computer developer IQM announced a three-stage upgrade path for LUMI-IQ, supporting fault-tolerant quantum research at the LUMI AI Factory.

IQM Quantum Computers announced a three-stage upgrade path for LUMI-IQ, described as a logical-qubit-capable quantum computer. The system is associated with deployment at the LUMI AI Factory, led by CSC – IT Center for Science.

The stated purpose is to support research and development toward fault-tolerant quantum computing and advances in hybrid computing. Supporting research toward fault tolerance is not the same as announcing that fault-tolerant operation has already been achieved.

The supplied excerpt does not specify the hardware configuration, physical- or logical-qubit counts, or milestones for the three stages. It also provides no upgrade dates, contract value, or measured computational performance.
