The build-out provides 800 kW of power and is engineered to host up to 12 IQM quantum computers over time, with two systems installed at launch. Processors are fabricated at IQM's chip facility in Finland and shipped to Munich, where a separated service area holds the compressors, pumps, and liquid nitrogen and helium storage that feed the dilution refrigerators; co-CEO Jan Goetz has framed the site as a commercial-availability counterpart to IQM's Finland R&D operation. The facility is aligned with Bavaria's Munich Quantum Valley initiative, backed by a state funding package of roughly €300 million.","keyFacts":[{"label":"Opened","value":"2024"},{"label":"Current systems","value":"2 quantum computers"},{"label":"Planned capacity","value":"Up to 12 quantum computers"},{"label":"Purpose","value":"European customer quantum cloud service"},{"label":"Address","value":"Georg-Brauchle-Ring 23-25, Munich (Olympia Business Center, former Telefonica/O2 building)"},{"label":"Power capacity","value":"800 kW"},{"label":"Footprint","value":"Basement white space of a converted office building (former O2 site)"},{"label":"Cooling","value":"Cryogenic: liquid nitrogen and liquid helium feeding dilution refrigerators, held in a separated on-site service area"},{"label":"System origin","value":"Quantum processors manufactured at IQM's commercial chip fab in Finland, then installed in Munich"},{"label":"Operational role","value":"Production/commercial deployment facility (kept separate from IQM's R&D operations in Finland) prioritizing high online availability"},{"label":"Regional program","value":"Anchored within Bavaria's Munich Quantum Valley initiative (€300M state funding package)"},{"label":"Building owner","value":"Olympia Business Center, redeveloped by Bayern Projekt and Europa Capital (acquired 2017)"}],"reviewStatus":"reviewed","sources":[{"url":"https://quantumx.it/iqm-quantum-computers-launches-quantum-data-center-in-munich-for-customers-to-explore-industry-applications-of-qc/","name":"QuantumX","title":"IQM Quantum Computers Launches Quantum Data Center in Munich"},{"url":"https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/iqm-quantum-computers-opens-first-quantum-data-center-in-munich-germany/","title":"IQM Quantum Computers opens first quantum data center in Munich, Germany","sourceName":"Data Center Dynamics"},{"url":"https://iqm.tech/press-releases/iqm-quantum-computers-opens-quantum-data-centre-in-germany-to-support-industry-applications/","title":"IQM Quantum Computers opens quantum data centre in Germany to support industry applications","sourceName":"IQM Quantum Computers (press release)"},{"url":"https://thequantuminsider.com/2024/06/21/iqm-quantum-computers-opens-quantum-data-centre-in-germany-to-support-industry-applications/","title":"IQM Quantum Computers Opens Quantum Data Centre in Germany to Support Industry Applications","sourceName":"The Quantum Insider"},{"url":"https://bebeez.eu/2025/08/26/inside-a-quantum-data-center/","title":"Inside a quantum data center","sourceName":"BeBeez International"},{"url":"https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/news/euro-q-exa-europes-latest-quantum-computer-inaugurated-munich","title":"Euro-Q-Exa: Europe's latest quantum computer inaugurated in Munich","sourceName":"European Commission"}],"reviewNote":null,"createdAt":"2026-08-25T16:52:35.750Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-25T23:41:07.877Z","location":{"id":"6108af6f-c86a-4185-9ac1-2bca7b5b00d1","name":"Munich, Bavaria, Germany","slug":"munich-bavaria-germany","kind":"city","parentLocationId":null,"region":null,"lat":48.1351,"lng":11.582,"reviewStatus":"unreviewed","aliases":[],"collisionRisk":"high","reviewNote":null,"createdAt":"2026-08-25T16:52:35.363Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-25T16:52:35.363Z"},"parties":[{"id":"d19c0016-7909-47db-9f57-89aaf3cc054e","dataCenterId":"d4b5acbd-f2ff-4855-8696-ae0f1064aa23","companyId":"8036e703-a3a6-4dbe-b705-e15591191ab0","externalName":null,"role":"operator","structureNotes":null,"createdAt":"2026-08-25T16:52:36.225Z","company":{"id":"8036e703-a3a6-4dbe-b705-e15591191ab0","name":"IQM Quantum Computers","slug":"iqm-quantum-computers"}}],"capacityClaims":[],"financialClaims":[],"metricClaims":[],"powerProjects":[],"facilities":[],"incidents":[],"events":[],"capacity_picture":{"announced_gw":null,"contracted_gw":null,"under_construction_gw":null,"energized_gw":null,"announced_minus_energized_gw":null,"by_series":{"announced":null,"contracted":null,"under_construction":null,"energized":null}},"jsonLd":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Place","name":"IQM Munich Quantum Data Center","url":"https://registry.deploy.report/datacenters/iqm-munich-quantum-data-center","geo":{"@type":"GeoCoordinates","latitude":48.1351,"longitude":11.582},"address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressLocality":"Munich, Bavaria, Germany"}}}
