QuoUSKWe - EU-South Korea Quantum Computing Collaboration
Project description and objective
QuoUSKWe (Quantum computing European Union-South Korea Working Team) aims to accelerate the adoption of quantum computing by addressing key challenges such as complex programming interfaces, limited optimisation capabilities and fragmented development tools. The project brings together European and South Korean research institutions and industry partners to advance quantum computing technologies and strengthen international collaboration in this strategic field.
A key focus of QuoUSKWe is the development of innovative compiler and toolchain technologies that make quantum programming more accessible, reusable and scalable. By integrating the Qrisp programming language with an extensible compiler infrastructure based on MLIR technology, the project combines classical and quantum optimisation techniques to improve the quality and efficiency of algorithms running on quantum devices.
The project also explores quantum cryptanalysis by developing quantum algorithms and circuits to assess the vulnerability of post-quantum cryptographic systems. In addition, QuoUSKWe investigates the integration of quantum and classical computing for Quantum AI applications in 6G AI-RAN environments, with potential applications in real-time threat detection, autonomous control and Zero-Trust architectures.
By fostering strategic cooperation between universities, research organisations and companies in Europe and the Republic of Korea, QuoUSKWe will contribute to the co-development of advanced quantum technologies and support their transition towards practical applications. The project aims to strengthen the quantum innovation ecosystems of both regions while advancing secure, efficient and accessible quantum computing technologies.
