Both university presidents highly anticipated this collaboration to yield groundbreaking discoveries and technological advancements. They anticipate that this partnership will profoundly transform the landscape of global quantum research and development.
On December 7th, President Seoung Hwan Suh of Yonsei University led a distinguished delegation to National Taiwan University (NTU), including Vice President for University Planning and Development Kabsung Kim, Vice President for External Affairs and Development Heejun Park, and Prof. Hakbae Lee from the Department of Applied Statistics. They were warmly received by President Wen-Chang Chen and Vice President for International Affairs Hsiao-Wei Yuan. The primary purpose of their visit was to formalize the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between NTU’s Centre for Quantum Science and Engineering (CQSE) and Yonsei University’s Institute of Quantum Information Technology.
Yonsei University has strategically recognized NTU’s CQSE as a key partner, following a trilateral MoU previously signed on Quantum Computing with Keio University of Japan. The signing ceremony of this bilateral MoU represents the initial step toward establishing a robust collaboration. This partnership aims to bolster scientific advancements, foster knowledge exchange, and generate innovative solutions to global challenges within the field of quantum science and engineering.
Under the leadership of President Seoung Hwan Suh, Yonsei University established the Institute of Quantum Information Technology in March 2022. The institute is dedicated to contributing to the creation of a quantum ecosystem for society as a whole. This includes various research endeavors in quantum information technology, systemic education, comprehensive applications, and the establishment of research networks through international collaboration.
