AI and cloud-native firm MegazoneCloud collectively constructed the Korea Quantum Nexus Center (KQNC) with the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI) on the Megazone Building in Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam, Seoul, and formally opened it on Wednesday.
KQNC was opened as a part of a challenge, underneath manner collectively by MegazoneCloud and KISTI since June final yr, to construct a quantum computing service and utilisation framework. It plans to pursue improvement of industry-specific quantum algorithms and identification of business software instances, assist proof-of-concept validation for corporations, present technical assist targeted on quantum computing use, ship quantum computing training and expertise improvement, and function an industry-academia-research cooperation community.
The challenge is a nationwide R&D programme promoted by the Ministry of Science and ICT. KISTI is the lead company and MegazoneCloud is taking part as a joint analysis establishment.
KQNC is an operational assist infrastructure geared toward increasing the research-focused circulation of quantum computing know-how into industrial use. Its objective is to assist corporations and analysis institutes to allow them to apply the know-how in apply, past a purely research-focused method.
MegazoneCloud plans to supply end-to-end assist by way of KQNC, together with training, technical assist and proof-of-concept validation, to again the sensible adoption of quantum computing. It additionally plans to strengthen consumer accessibility and reinforce cooperation between {industry} and analysis institutes by linking with KISTI’s quantum computing infrastructure.
MegazoneCloud additionally held the KQNC Quantum Insight Forum on the day of the centre’s opening, inviting key figures from {industry}, academia and analysis. Attendees included MegazoneCloud Chairman Ju-wan Lee (이주완), KISTI President Sik Lee (이식) and Seohee Gu (구서희), a senior administrative officer on the Ministry of Science and ICT’s Quantum Innovation Technology Development Division, together with 25 key industry-academia-research contributors.
Ju-wan Lee (이주완), chairman of MegazoneCloud, stated the Korea Quantum Nexus Center is a strategic operational hub to attach quantum computing know-how to fixing actual industrial-site challenges. He stated the centre will transcend validating particular person applied sciences to determine industry-by-industry software eventualities and construct a cooperation base the place corporations and analysis institutes create use instances collectively.
Sik Lee (이식), president of KISTI, stated he hopes the opening will turn out to be a place to begin for constructing a utilisation framework that connects quantum know-how and {industry} and promotes wider software and demonstration. He stated KISTI, because the lead company, will construct next-generation infrastructure combining quantum computing and high-performance computing, and contribute to producing nationwide R&D outcomes and securing international technological and industrial management by figuring out a spread of use instances by way of joint analysis with MegazoneCloud.
