Summary
IQM bought selected Quantistry assets — including software, algorithms and intellectual property — and retained the Berlin company’s core technical, quantum chemistry and software engineering staff.
The deal, completed alongside IQM’s business combination with RAAQ, is meant to speed software development and connect IQM’s superconducting quantum hardware with industrial R&D applications.
Quantistry’s cloud-native platform adds simulation libraries and an AI/ML layer that can route workloads across classical HPC, native AI environments and quantum backends, then connect directly to IQM machines.
IQM said the combined stack will let enterprise customers build proofs of concept and scale them on the same platform as hardware improves, targeting automotive, aerospace, chemicals, materials science and pharmaceuticals.
The acquisition follows IQM’s recent Nasdaq listing, which the company said made it Europe’s first publicly listed quantum computer company, underscoring its push toward commercial full-stack quantum offerings.
How soon can industries actually profit from IQM's new all-in-one quantum platform?
With its public listing and new software, is Europe now a serious contender in the commercial quantum computing race?
