Pasqal inaugurates SOL, Italy’s first neutral-atom quantum computer and Europe’s third Pasqal system, installed at CINECA in Bologna as part of EuroHPC JU and Italy’s ICSC funding.

The integration enables hybrid classical-quantum workflows to accelerate research in optimization, simulation, and machine learning, moving toward production-level quantum systems rather than prototypes.

Francesco Ubertini emphasizes an integrated ecosystem centered on Leonardo to support workloads from advanced AI to traditional HPC and emerging quantum computing, aligning with Europe’s EuroHPC efforts to bolster technological sovereignty.

IQM Quantum Computers notes it operates systems at four of the world’s top ten supercomputing centers and has sold 23 quantum computers globally, aiming to go public this year through a merger with Real Asset Acquisition Corp (RAAQ).

IQM plans a business combination with Real Asset Acquisition Corp, positioning the merger for mid-2026 to enable a public listing.

IQM is Finnish-founded (2018) with Europe, Asia, and North America operations and seeks a mid-2026 listing via the RAAQ merger.

NOX and SOL deployments, including integration with CINECA, illustrate production-ready, hybrid HPC-quantum capabilities forming part of Europe’s broader HPC-quantum landscape.

IQM COO Sylvia de Weydenthal stresses the importance of Production Quantum and owning/operating quantum systems.

Officials describe the deployment as enhancing digital sovereignty and national competitiveness amid geopolitical and energy uncertainties.

Statements from Antonio Zoccoli, Francesco Ubertini, and Sylwia de Weydenthal frame national and institutional backing and the project’s production-quantum value.

IQM’s mission centers on accelerating global adoption of hybrid computing and enabling customers to build quantum capability within real-world infrastructure.
