About
The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) is South Korea's national metrology institute, located in Daejeon at the Korea Quantum Computing Hub. It is the Korean counterpart to NPL in the UK, NIST in the US, and PTB in Germany, maintaining quantum-based national measurement standards for South Korea and contributing to the country's quantum technology strategy. KRISS operates optical atomic clocks, Josephson voltage standards, quantum Hall resistance standards, and precision magnetic field measurement systems. Its quantum sensing research produces practical quantum sensors for industrial metrology, gravitational surveys, and biomedical imaging. KRISS is a core member of the Daejeon Quantum Technology Cluster, working alongside KAIST, ETRI, and AWS to develop South Korea's quantum valley. KRISS contributes to international quantum metrology through the BIPM and APMP (Asia Pacific Metrology Programme) frameworks, and it takes part in South Korea's national quantum strategy, which targets a 1,000-qubit quantum computer and quantum communication networks by 2030. The institute's quantum technology programmes support Korean quantum hardware companies through calibration, testing, and standards development services.
