QCenter History

Growth Phase

2024 - Present Expanding Korea’s Leading Quantum Collaboration Platform

QCenter continues to host the K-Quantum Square Meeting, strengthening collaboration across academia, industry, research institutes, and government.
Through organizing Quantum Korea and operating Quantum Information Competitions, QCenter is broadening connections within the ecosystem.
Global partnerships are further accelerating practical linkages between research and industry.

Expansion Phase

2021 - 2023 Building Networks, Opening Platforms

Beginning with its participation in the IBM Quantum Network Hub, QCenter established a structured foundation for collaboration.
It expanded exchange and engagement through Quantum Information Week and the K-Quantum Square Meeting.
With the launch of Q-Platform and the operation of Quantum Korea, QCenter evolved into an execution-driven hub.

Foundation Phase

2020 Establishing the Center and Initiating Partnerships

With the launch of the Quantum Information Research Support Center,
QCenter laid the groundwork for a quantum ecosystem by developing talent programs and building global partnerships.
