A good bringing together analysis, trade and coverage tendencies in quantum science and technology from all over the world might be held.
The Ministry of Science and ICT mentioned on Tuesday it’s going to maintain “Quantum Korea 2026” for 3 days from July 2 to 4 on the Art Hall of Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) in Seoul.
Quantum Korea is an occasion the place home and international governments, researchers and quantum corporations share the newest applied sciences and insurance policies. This yr, below the theme “Quantum becomes reality, a bold challenge for innovation,” it focuses on adjustments wherein quantum technology is applied in analysis and industrial settings.
This yr’s occasion consists of 56 corporations and establishments from 12 international locations, together with IBM, IonQ, Quandela and PASQAL, in addition to home universities, government-funded analysis institutes and corporations. About 300 folks, together with delegations from the European Union, Britain, Canada, the Netherlands and Australia, together with trade, academia and analysis figures, will attend the opening ceremony.
The exhibition corridor will introduce quantum computing applied sciences utilizing varied approaches, together with photonics, impartial atoms, ion traps and superconductivity. It may also unveil core applied sciences and analysis outcomes from South Korean researchers, together with the Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science, the Korea Institute of Science and Technology, Seoul National University and the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST).
In quantum communications and sensing, SK Telecom, KT and the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute will current quantum cryptography communications and quantum web applied sciences they’ve developed. The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science’s atomic clock and the Agency for Defense Development’s protection quantum sensing technology may also be on show.
Keynote audio system embody Isaac Chuang (아이작 추앙), a professor on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology within the United States, and Myung-shik Kim (김명식), a chair professor at Imperial College London in Britain. Chuang will converse on “Quantum engineering: System challenges,” whereas Kim will current on “Quantum technology, the journey so far.”
At the “Quantum Frontier Forum,” officers from governments, corporations and analysis establishments in main international locations will focus on quantum methods by nation, industrial use instances and worldwide standardisation plans. Nvidia, IonQ, Quantinuum and IDQ Korea may also introduce technology achievements in quantum computing and communications.
An worldwide tutorial convention, “CQI 2026,” may also be held throughout the occasion. A complete of 28 home and international researchers will current their findings in quantum computing, communications, sensing and converged applied sciences.
On the ultimate day, July 4, programmes for most of the people will embody a lecture by science communicator Gwiedo and a chat live performance with science creator Science Cookie and broadcaster Heo Seong-beom. Other choices embody talks by quantum specialists. A quantum artwork exhibition, the play “Quantum War” and a physics magic present may also be supplied as cultural and hands-on occasions.
Science and ICT Minister Bae Kyung-hoon mentioned, “Quantum technology innovation is no longer a story of the distant future but is unfolding as reality.” He added, “The government will support South Korea’s move toward becoming a nation that leads quantum technology and industry through various policy support.”
