QUDORA Technologies GmbH, an ion-trap-based quantum computing specialist, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with South Korean quantum AI company Quantum Insider (QAI) to explore the deployment of QUDORA’s ion-trap quantum computing technology in South Korea and evaluate hybrid AI-quantum services.
Under the MoU, QUDORA will lead system construction and technical integration, while QAI will conduct the local feasibility assessment and support market development activities as QUDORA expands its presence in Asia.
According to a press release, the agreement begins with a feasibility study on integrating a QUDORA ion-trap quantum computer into AI data center infrastructure operated by QAI. The study will assess technical integration and the implementation of hybrid AI-quantum workflows in an operational environment.
Amado Bautista, CEO, QUDORA, said, “This partnership represents a significant milestone in accelerating the adoption of QUDORA’s ion-trap quantum computing technology across Asia. By combining our leading ion-trap technology with QAI’s capabilities, we will accelerate commercialization, demonstrate utility at scale, and enable enterprise applications powered by hybrid AI-quantum computing.”
Se-man Lim, CEO, QAI, said, “The combination of Europe’s leading ion-trap quantum computing technology with QAI’s AI data center and commercialization capabilities will serve as an important springboard for expanding hybrid AI-quantum services.”
The companies also agreed to collaborate on hybrid AI-quantum solutions, customer enablement, education, joint technology development, and compliance with export control and other applicable regulatory requirements. Both companies plan to work together on customer engagement, technical workshops, and technology demonstrations across Asian markets, including Japan, Vietnam, India, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia.
