In recent days, , Finnish quantum computing company IQM Announce completed 1.28 Billions of euros （1.28 Billion dollars ） financing . This financing is At present, the largest investment in quantum computing in Europe , By the World Fund World Fund To take the lead ,Bayern Kapital、EIC Fund、OurCrowd、QCI SPV、 Tencent, etc .

IQM Express , The fund will be used to expand its international business and accelerate product development , The focus is on developing quantum processors to help cope with the climate crisis .

IQM Founded on 2018 year , Dedicated to Supercomputing Center 、 Research institutions and enterprises provide quantum computer full stack Services . at present ,IQM With Finnish Technology Research Center VTT The first one in Finland is under construction 54 Quantum bit computer , meanwhile ,IQM Or the German Quantum Computing Alliance Q-Exa The leader of , Help promote the European Strategic Deployment Based on the integration of quantum computing accelerator into the European High Performance Computing Center .

IQM Pointed out that , The current high-performance computing center is facing a “ Innovation dilemma ”—— Reinvent infrastructure . So , Researchers are studying alternative ways to improve their processing capacity , Memory driven Computing 、FPGA、 be based on Chiplet Quantum computing is one of the most important emerging technologies in the global high-performance computing center in the next five years . Although based on memory driven Computing 、FPGA And chip based computing technology is expected to improve computing performance , But quantum computing as a new paradigm , It will completely change the way computers work , And achieve a huge leap in processing capacity .

Quantum computing will solve more complex computational problems , So as to effectively improve the speed of high-performance computing center in solving some computing problems , And create a new research experience , At the same time, in energy efficiency 、 Take advantage of sustainability and cost reduction .

meanwhile ,IQM Innovative breakthroughs are being made in the fields of energy network optimization and climate modeling .

IQM Chairman of the board Sierk Poetting Doctor said ：“ This round of financing is an important milestone , This means that our recent technological achievements have been recognized , It will also help IQM Accelerate research and development .”

IQM Of CEO Co founder Jan Goetz "Said Dr. ： “ This fund highlights IQM Our mission ： Build quantum computers to enhance human well-being . This reinforces recognition IQM Business model The confidence of the , And right IQM The team builds continuous trust in quantum technology capabilities . We will continue to achieve new milestones in our products and business , And provide customers with world-class quantum computers .”

World Fund Founding partner of Daria Saharova Express ：“ To solve the climate crisis , Quantum computing has breakthrough potential . We are proud to be able to lead this round and support IQM Ambition to provide quantum advantages for climate and sustainable development goals . This investment is consistent with our philosophy , That is, only those with the highest climate performance potential （CPP） The company , And finally achieve 2040 Annual savings in 2 Gigaton emissions （ Equivalent to... Of global emissions 4%） The goal of .IQM It has a strong local business model focusing on high-performance computing centers and national quantum laboratories , We expect them to reach the position of global leader .”

World Fund

from Daria Saharova、Danijel Višević、Craig Douglas and Tim Schumacher Co founded Europe's largest climate venture capital fund . From energy 、 food 、 Agriculture and land use , To building materials 、 Manufacturing and transportation ,World Fund Being invested has at least 100Mt/ Climate performance potential of annual carbon dioxide emissions (CPP) European climate technology development .
