Extension of original three-year deal to
provide researchers and academics with access to IonQ’s leading
trapped-ion systems
Renewal closely follows Memorandum of
Understanding established with the South Korean government to
promote quantum education and training
IonQ (NYSE: IONQ), a leader in the quantum computing industry,
today announced the renewal of its alliance with South Korea’s
Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) to provide researchers and academics
with continued access to IonQ’s trapped-ion quantum systems.
Accessible through SKKU’s Q Center, users across South Korea have
benefited from hands-on training and mentorship provided by IonQ as
they engineer and run novel quantum applications. Today’s
announcement reflects the two parties’ shared interest in
establishing South Korea as an international hub for quantum
computing.
“As quantum breakthroughs and achievements occur at breakneck
speeds, it is imperative that we train and educate the next
generation of quantum researchers and academics with the latest
available hardware,” said Peter Chapman, CEO and President of IonQ.
“Renewing our alliance with SKKU ensures users across South Korea
will maintain access to IonQ’s current and future-generation
systems to explore revolutionary solutions for today’s most complex
challenges.”
Since 2021, researchers and academics across South Korea have
leveraged IonQ’s systems to develop and deploy quantum computing
applications in areas such as quantum machine learning and chemical
engineering. SKKU is recognized as one of the preeminent research
institutions in nanotechnology research – one of the integral parts
in developing future-generation quantum systems.
“We are pleased by the research results we achieved using IonQ’s
systems and look forward to continuing our alliance in the coming
years,” said Yonuk Chong, SKKU Professor of SAINT (SKKU Advanced
Institute of NanoTechnology). “Establishing South Korea as an
international leader in quantum computing remains a top priority
for the South Korean government, and we believe IonQ’s trapped-ion
systems have demonstrated real-world value in helping achieve this
goal.”
Today’s announcement is the latest in a series of IonQ
initiatives across South Korea, following the 2023 Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) with South Korea’s Ministry of Science and ICT
(Information and Communications Technology) to educate quantum
science and technology professionals and promote the creation of a
local quantum ecosystem. IonQ and Hyundai Motors have also
collaborated for years applying quantum computing to projects such
as object detection for autonomous vehicles and increased
efficiency for electric vehicle batteries.
IonQ’s quantum systems are available through the cloud on Amazon
Braket, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, as well as through
direct API access. To learn more about how you can get started on
