Growth Stage

2024 - Present Expanding Korea’s leading platform for quantum collaboration.

QCenter continues to host the K-Quantum Square Meeting to strengthen cooperation among academia, industry, research institutes, and government.
Through Quantum Korea and the Quantum Information Competition, it is broadening connections across the quantum ecosystem.
Global partnerships are further accelerating practical links between research and industry.

Leap Stage

2021 - 2023 Building networks and opening platforms.

Beginning with its participation in the IBM Quantum Network Hub, QCenter systematized its collaboration framework.
Through Quantum Information Week and the K-Quantum Square Meeting, it expanded opportunities for exchange and cooperation.
With the launch of Q-Platform and the operation of Quantum Korea, QCenter advanced into an action-oriented hub.

Establishment Stage

2020 Opening the center and launching its first partnerships.

Starting with the establishment of QCenter,
it laid the foundation for supporting the quantum ecosystem through talent development programs and global partnerships.
