INTELLIGENT TECHNOLOGY: QUANTUM COMPUTING
Ubitus partners with Yonsei University and Trident Zoetic on Asia’ s first quantum-GPU hybrid research platform
Yonsei University, Trident Zoetic and Ubitus launch a landmark hybrid computing project in South Korea, combining quantum systems with NVIDIA GPUs to accelerate breakthroughs in AI, biotech and advanced materials. quantum computer, Pasqal’ s neutral atom platform and D-Wave’ s quantum annealing system – alongside a high-performance GPU cluster, forming a unified hybrid computing environment.
Ubitus K. K has signed a memorandum of understanding( MoU) led by Yonsei University and Trident Zoetic to establish Asia’ s first hybrid research platform integrating quantum computing.
Bringing together leading technology partners from South Korea, France, Canada and Japan, the project aims to accelerate the real-world application of highperformance hybrid computing powered by quantum systems and NVIDIA B200 GPUs.
Global partnership to advance hybrid quantum-AI infrastructure
Led by Yonsei University and Trident Zoetic, the initiative brings together Pasqal( France), D-Wave( Canada) and Ubitus( Japan) with institutional support from Incheon Metropolitan City and the Incheon Free Economic Zone( IFEZ).
The facility will be based at Yonsei’ s International Campus and aims to accelerate scientific breakthroughs in drug discovery, biotechnology and advanced materials. Yonsei contributes its academic expertise and infrastructure while Trident Zoetic serves as project lead and investor, co-ordinating a global research network.
Quantum systems excel at combinatorial optimisation and complex simulations while GPUs deliver scalable performance for Deep Learning and AI inference. Together, these complementary technologies enhance algorithmic efficiency and accelerate the path from academic research to real-world applications.
Ubitus delivers AI infrastructure and hybrid orchestration
Ubitus will supply and integrate a 512-node, 4,096- GPU NVIDIA B200 cluster, delivering the platform’ s core AI computing power. The system will operate under a GPU-as-a-Service( GPUaaS) model and support hybrid orchestration between AI and quantum workloads for use cases such as quantum-enhanced learning, drug modelling and materials simulation.
Ubitus will also manage deployment, architecture and long-term operations.
Strategic milestone for East Asia’ s quantum-AI ecosystem
This collaboration represents a critical step toward hybrid quantum computing in East Asia, bridging the performance of quantum processors with the flexibility of GPU infrastructure. It underscores the region’ s growing leadership in next-generation computing.
Quantum and GPU: complementary technologies for future science
The platform will integrate three quantum computing systems – the IBM 127-qubit superconducting
“ This partnership reflects our commitment to nextgeneration infrastructure,” said Wesley Kuo, CEO of Ubitus.“ We are proud to support the foundation of a new hybrid computing ecosystem that will drive scientific and industrial innovation across Asia.” p
