Ubitus Joins Partnership with Yonsei University and Trident Zoetic to Build Asia’s First Quantum-GPU Hybrid Research Platform

SEOUL, South Korea--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ubitus K.K., a global leader in AI and cloud streaming, announced that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) led by Yonsei University and Trident Zoetic to establish Asia’s first hybrid research platform integrating quantum computing. Bringing together leading technology partners from South Korea, France, Canada, and Japan, the project aims to accelerate the real-world application of high-performance hybrid computing powered by quantum systems and NVIDIA B200 GPUs.

Global Partnership to Advance Hybrid Quantum-AI Infrastructure

Led by Yonsei University and Trident Zoetic, the initiative brings together Pasqal (France), D-Wave (Canada), and Ubitus (Japan), with institutional support from the Incheon Metropolitan City and Incheon Free Economic Zone (IFEZ). The facility will be based at Yonsei’s International Campus and aims to accelerate scientific breakthroughs in drug discovery, biotechnology, and advanced materials. Yonsei contributes its academic expertise and infrastructure, while Trident Zoetic serves as project lead and investor, coordinating a global research network.

Quantum and GPU: Complementary Technologies for Future Science

The platform will integrate three quantum computing systems—the IBM 127-qubit superconducting quantum computer, Pasqal’s neutral atom platform, and D-Wave’s quantum annealing system—alongside a high-performance GPU cluster, forming a unified hybrid computing environment. Quantum systems excel at combinatorial optimization and complex simulations, while GPUs deliver scalable performance for deep learning and AI inference. Together, these complementary technologies enhance algorithmic efficiency and accelerate the path from academic research to real-world applications.

Ubitus Delivers AI Infrastructure and Hybrid Orchestration

Ubitus will supply and integrate a 512-node, 4,096-GPU NVIDIA B200 cluster, delivering the platform’s core AI computing power. The system will operate under a GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) model and support hybrid orchestration between AI and quantum workloads for use cases such as quantum-enhanced learning, drug modeling, and materials simulation. Ubitus will also manage deployment, architecture, and long-term operations.

Strategic Milestone for East Asia’s Quantum-AI Ecosystem

This collaboration represents a critical step toward hybrid quantum computing in East Asia, bridging the performance of quantum processors with the flexibility of GPU infrastructure. It underscores the region’s growing leadership in next-generation computing.

“This partnership reflects our commitment to next-generation infrastructure,” said Wesley Kuo, CEO of Ubitus. “We are proud to support the foundation of a new hybrid computing ecosystem that will drive scientific and industrial innovation across Asia.”
