KIST and the University of Waterloo, located near Toronto, have agreed to start joint R&D activities in quantum fusion. On Monday, September 22, the two institutions announced that they had signed a memorandum of agreement at the University of Waterloo with the heads of both parties in attendance. The agreement is intended to promote joint research and build a close cooperative relationship in research related to quantum fusion technology, including quantum devices.
The University of Waterloo, founded in 1959, is Canada’s premier engineering institution. The Institute for Quantum Computing, located on the campus of the university, is known as the best quantum computing center in the world.
KIST is home to the Nano and Quantum Information Research Center, the only research center in Korea specializing in research on converging nano and quantum technologies. It also is a leader in quantum information research. KIST was the first to develop a prototype of a quantum cryptography system in Korea and presented the prototype at the International Quantum Cryptography Conference in 2013.
