Quantum Computing Research at the National Metrology Institute

Abstract

With a wide range of promising applications arising from unprecedented computing performance, quantum computing has recently received great attention. This technology that relies on quantum superposition and quantum entanglement can be realized in various physical platforms such as superconducting quantum devices, optical systems, semiconductor nanostructures and neutral atoms and so on. The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS), the national metrology institute of Korea, is actively carrying out research on quantum computing technologies with its extensive experience and expertise obtained from the development of measurement standards and precision measurement technologies based on diverse physical systems. In this article, we briefly discuss quantum computing research activities at KRISS.
