Stories from the quantum frontier

Joining IQM meant moving roughly 16,000 kilometres from Brisbane to Munich. For Tyler Jones, it also meant getting one of the most interesting views of quantum computing: seeing how chips, hardware, software and years of research finally come together to make a quantum computer work.

Raphael Seidel is a Staff Engineer at IQM and one of the driving forces behind Qrisp. In this story, he shares how a frustration with quantum programming evolved into an open-source language designed for the future of real-time quantum computing.

Jeremiah Coleman works in one of the most technical customer-facing roles in the world. As a Technical Sales Engineer at IQM, he collaborates with researchers, national labs, and HPC centers to help solve complex scientific problems using quantum systems — bridging quantum hardware, algorithms, and real-world applications. What excites him most is helping shape how quantum technology could eventually transform areas like drug discovery, optimization, AI, and scientific computing.

Eric Mansfield, our Senior Product Manager for High Performance Computing, joined IQM after successful Silicon Valley startups. He brings hardware expertise and a passion for building at the frontier.

Sourav Majumder lives by a piece of advice he once came across: go where you’ll be out of your depth. That mindset took him from India to Germany, from basic physics to the frontlines of quantum error correction.

Zhen Wu, Quantum Engineer at IQM, works on turning fragile prototypes into reliable systems. Her perspective shows what it’s like to scale quantum in an industry setting.
