NUS Collaboration with IBM Focusing on Research and Training for Quantum Computing

(SG.Channel.Asia) The National University of Singapore (NUS) has signed a three-year collaboration agreement with IBM, focusing on research and training specific to quantum computing.
Driven by the Quantum Engineering Programme (QEP) – which is supported by the National Research Foundation Singapore (NRF) – the national initiative is designed to help researchers convert research in quantum science and technologies into commercial products.
“Singapore is a global hub where innovation is driven by a strategic combination of talents, world-class research and a vibrant tech-transfer ecosystem,” said Professor Chen Tsuhan, deputy president of Research and Technology at NUS.
“The funding from this programme aims to bring together expertise across several universities to drive the advancement of quantum technology,” Professor Tsuhan added. “This partnership with IBM will potentially open up avenues for researchers to apply quantum computing to different fields, including chemistry, materials science, biology, finance and cyber security, particularly those dealing with uncertainty and constrained optimisation.
“The know-how and experience gained will help ensure that Singapore is ready to harness the quantum revolution for social and economic benefits.”
Given Singapore’s investment in building skills and cutting-edge technology, the country is well poised to become quantum ready,” said Dario Gil, director of IBM Research.
