IonQ and KISTI Forge Strategic Alliance to Advance Quantum-HPC Hybrid Technologies in South Korea with NVIDIA NVQLink<\/b><\/p>\n

Collaboration on quantum-classical integration, AI model development, and the expansion of the national quantum ecosystem<\/i><\/p>\n

SAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nIonQ (NYSE: IONQ), a global leader in quantum computing, today announced a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for a collaborative business engagement with the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI). This MOU, announced at NVIDIA GTC<\/a>, outlines a shared vision for the organizations to explore the advancement of quantum-high performance computing (HPC) hybrid technologies incorporating NVIDIA accelerated computing and supporting the development of a robust ecosystem within South Korea.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe scale and scope of this alliance represents a powerful convergence of quantum, AI, and classical supercomputing expertise,\u201d said Niccolo de Masi, Chairman and CEO of IonQ. \u201cBy 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThis collaboration with IonQ and NVIDIA is a critical step in building a national quantum-HPC infrastructure that can solve the most complex scientific challenges,\u201d said Jaegyoon Hahm, Director of the Center for Quantum Computing Service at KISTI. \u201cBy leveraging NVIDIA AI and accelerated computing platforms alongside IonQ\u2019s trapped-ion quantum systems, we are ensuring that South Korean researchers and enterprises remain at the forefront of the quantum era.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThe MOU focuses on seeking to establish a phased approach to integrate IonQ\u2019s industry-leading quantum hardware with KISTI\u2019s world-class HPC infrastructure using NVIDIA<\/a> NVQLink<\/a>, an open architecture that connects quantum computers to GPU-based supercomputers. By combining these technologies, the parties aim to conduct research and development on quantum-HPC hybrid applications, including the simulation of quantum algorithms and technologies for next-generation hardware.<\/p>\n

\nKey initiatives anticipated under the MOU include:<\/p>\n
