US quantum computing firm IonQ has introduced an MOU for a collaborative enterprise engagement with the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI).
This MOU outlines a shared imaginative and prescient for the organizations to discover the development of quantum-high efficiency computing (HPC) hybrid applied sciences incorporating NVIDIA accelerated computing and supporting the event of a strong ecosystem inside South Korea, in accordance to a media launch.
“The scale and scope of this alliance represents a powerful convergence of quantum, AI, and classical supercomputing expertise,” mentioned Niccolo de Masi, Chairman and CEO of IonQ. “By working with KISTI, we are seeking to create a pathway for South Korea to be a global leader in hybrid quantum-classical research. This initiative is intended to provide the foundational technology and AI models necessary to accelerate the practical application of quantum computing worldwide.”
“This collaboration with IonQ and NVIDIA is a critical step in building a national quantum-HPC infrastructure that can solve the most complex scientific challenges,” mentioned Jaegyoon Hahm, Director of Center for Quantum Computing Service at KISTI. “By leveraging NVIDIA AI and accelerated computing platforms alongside IonQ’s trapped-ion quantum systems, we are ensuring that South Korean researchers and enterprises remain at the forefront of the quantum era.”
The MOU focuses on in search of to set up a phased strategy to combine IonQ’s quantum {hardware} with KISTI’s HPC infrastructure utilizing NVIDIA NVQLink, an open structure that connects quantum computer systems to GPU-based supercomputers. By combining these applied sciences, the events intention to conduct analysis and growth on quantum-HPC hybrid functions, together with the simulation of quantum algorithms and applied sciences for next-generation {hardware}, the media launch mentioned.
