South Korea's quantum equipment makers anticipate major orders as data centers adopt QPU - digitimes

South Korean quantum equipment manufacturers expect a surge in orders as global data centers begin integrating quantum processing units (QPUs) to handle escalating AI workloads. The shift marks a transition from government-led R&D to private-sector adoption, signaling commercial viability for quantum technologies in high-performance computing applications. AI’s growing computational demands are accelerating QPU deployment, positioning quantum hardware as a critical solution for next-generation data processing infrastructure. South Korea’s national quantum strategy, now maturing, is enabling domestic firms to capitalize on emerging global demand for quantum-ready data center equipment. Industry analysts project this trend will drive significant revenue growth for Korean suppliers, reinforcing the country’s role in the quantum computing supply chain.
