Development and Dissemination of a Supplier Support Framework for Next-Generation Quantum Computers
We aim to build a supply chain and market for components of next-generation quantum computer and accelerate value creation through service development utilizing the quantum computer. By utilizing the design & evaluation platform that developed and operated at G-QuAT, we commit to the development and dissemination of this supplier support framework, which supports seamless processes from system-level design and prototyping to performance assurance and evaluation in real operating environments.
