IQM deploys Radiance R1 quantum computer at Poznan University as 23rd system ahead of SPAC merger
RAAQ•Poznan University of Technology installed an IQM Radiance R1 on-premises quantum computer to enable hands-on research and launch Quantum Technologies and master’s programs in 2026. IQM has sold 23 systems globally and filed an F-4 for a SPAC merger with Real Asset Acquisition Corp targeting Nasdaq Global and Helsinki listings.
1. Deployment of IQM Radiance R1 at Poznan University
Poznan University of Technology has installed an IQM Radiance R1 quantum computer on campus, providing researchers, students and engineers with direct, on-premises access to a full-stack superconducting quantum system. This approach enables infrastructure integration and hands-on experimentation that surpasses cloud-only models.
2. Expansion of educational and research programs
Starting in October 2026, the university will enroll students in a new Quantum Technologies engineering program and launch a master’s degree in quantum computing. The system will also be used for initiatives such as the Polish Quantum Olympiad, hackathons and other innovation-focused events to build local expertise and intellectual property.
3. IQM’s SPAC merger and listing plans
IQM has sold 23 quantum systems worldwide and has filed an F-4 registration to merge with Real Asset Acquisition Corp. Upon closing, IQM intends to list on Nasdaq Global Exchange and subsequently on Nasdaq Helsinki, marking a major step toward becoming the first publicly listed European quantum company.
