Yonsei University International Campus, having introduced South Korea's first commercially viable quantum computer, has announced plans to train 40,000 quantum computing experts over the next decade. This initiative is expected to significantly contribute to the development of the domestic quantum computing industry.

Key Highlights:

Expert Workforce Development: Establishment of educational programs for quantum computing industry professionals and majors.
Operation of master's and doctoral programs in the second half of the year.
Goal to produce 40,000 quantum field experts over the next 10 years.
Quantum Computer Utilization: Utilization in advanced biotechnology fields such as new drug development.
Expansion of joint research systems with Incheon bio-companies.
Review of establishing a quantum field business within the Incheon Bio Specialization Complex.
Quantum Computer Introduction: Installation of the 'IBM Quantum System One' (127-qubit performance).
Selection for the industrial innovation infrastructure construction project, securing a budget of 17.8 billion won.
Strengthening Cooperation: Strengthening cooperation with Incheon City.
Expanding research exchanges with major bio-companies.

Yonsei University is prioritizing the development of a professional workforce to meet the demands of quantum computer technology development and industrial workforce needs. In a situation where domestic quantum computer experts are scarce, this plan is expected to be a crucial turning point in the development of the domestic quantum computer industry.
