IQM Quantum Computers signed a purchase agreement to deploy its Spark quantum computer at Brazil’s Eldorado Research Institute in Campinas.

IQM Quantum Computers announced a purchase agreement with the Eldorado Research Institute to install an IQM Spark quantum computer at Eldorado’s Campinas location in Brazil. The source describes IQM as a developer of superconducting quantum computers.

The announcement identifies the planned installation as IQM’s first quantum computer in South America and its entry into the region. That distinction concerns IQM’s deployment history; it is not a claim that South America has never previously hosted a quantum computer.

The transaction has reached the purchase-agreement stage, while installation remains prospective in the supplied excerpt. No purchase price, qubit count, installation deadline, acceptance criteria or operating-performance measurements are provided. The system should therefore be reported separately from conventional GPU or CPU compute capacity.
