TEL AVIV, Israel, May 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum
Machines (QM), the leading provider of processor-based quantum
controllers™ today announced that the Quantum
Computing lab of the Advanced Institute of Nano Technology at
Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) in Seoul will deploy three of its advanced
OPX1000 controllers. The quantum computing facilities are part of
South Korea's ambitious national
project aimed at advancing the country's quantum computing
capabilities. The deployment represents a significant upgrade to
the center's on-site research facilities.
SKKU's quantum computing lab is headed by Prof. Yonuk Chong, who
also serves as the Director of the Quantum Information Research
Support Center (QCenter) at SKKU. Established in 2020, the QCenter
operates under a large-scale government initiative with a budget of
approximately $45 million over five
years. The center's primary objectives include providing systematic
education and research to bolster the Korean government's quantum
investments, developing a skilled workforce for the future,
supporting the use of a quantum computing cloud, and establishing a
robust infrastructure for quantum device production.
OPX1000 is a modular, high-density quantum control platform.
Featuring unparalleled processing power and channel density,
OPX1000 is easily scalable to allow cost-efficient control for the
largest quantum processors available. It will be pivotal to the
QCenter's ongoing projects, particularly in developing,
characterizing, and testing novel architectures for the national
Korean quantum computer.
"The deployment of the OPX1000 controllers is not just an
upgrade of our facilities; it's a leap towards achieving our
long-term goals in quantum computing research and infrastructure,"
said Professor Yonuk Chong from Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) and
Director of the Quantum Information Research Support Center. "The
QCenter at SKKU is making quantum computing research more
accessible and sustainable. We're thrilled to have technology
partners like Quantum Machines share our vision and join our
journey towards useful quantum computers."
"South Korea's ongoing
investment in quantum computing reflects its commitment to play a
leading role in the advancement of quantum research and
development," said Itamar Sivan,
co-founder and CEO of Quantum Machines. "This strategic upgrade by
the QCenter is poised to not only enhance South Korea's research capabilities but also
contribute significantly to the global quantum computing
landscape."
