IQN (NewsDesk): South Korea has switched on its new Hangang supercomputer, built around Nvidia GH200 chips, with plans to integrate quantum computing capability into the system by May.
The Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI) is running the project as a quantum-HPC hybrid platform, pairing classical high-performance computing with quantum processing as it becomes available. The move reflects a broader global trend of treating quantum hardware as an accelerator alongside AI and supercomputing infrastructure, rather than a standalone system.
Officials have framed the launch as part of South Korea’s wider push to compete in next-generation computing research.
