Yonsei University, IBM Quantum System One

At Yonsei's Songdo International Campus, IBM and Yonsei University have installed the IBM Quantum System One.

This is just the second utility-scale quantum computer on a university campus worldwide and the first in Korea. The system seeks to improve quantum computing and related sectors research and teaching. It will benefit Yonsei University as well as other educational institutions, businesses, and groups that work with the university.

With the help of IBM's 127-qubit Eagle processor, the system can solve complicated problems in a way that is beyond the scope of traditional approaches, reaching quantum usefulness. Along with installations in the US, Canada, Germany, and Japan, IBM's global network of specialized quantum systems includes the IBM Quantum System One at Yonsei.

In July 2024, Yonsei and IBM inked a Memorandum of Understanding to work together on a Bio-Quantum Initiative. In order to create a quantum-bioconvergence industrial cluster, Yonsei is collaborating with Incheon Metropolitan City. The Quantum Computing Complex will have its formal inauguration ceremony in March 2025, which also happens to be Yonsei's 140th anniversary. A Quantum Computing Project Team has been formed by the institution to advance ecosystem growth, education, and research. From 2023 to 2030, the area of quantum computing is expected to expand by more than $5.5 billion.

Governmental bodies, academic institutions, businesses, and other groups interested in applications of quantum computing are encouraged to work with Yonsei. Through conferences, workshops, and seminars, the collaboration will advance "quantum literacy" and develop the next generation of quantum scientists and technologists.
