Ubitus K.K., a global leader in AI and cloud streaming, has partnered with Yonsei University and Trident Zoetic to establish Asia’s first quantum-GPU hybrid research platform. Based at Yonsei’s International Campus in South Korea, this initiative aims to drive breakthroughs in AI, biotechnology, and advanced materials through integrated quantum and high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure.
Ubitus, Yonsei University, and Trident Zoetic launch quantum-GPU platform.
Integrates IBM, Pasqal, and D-Wave quantum systems with NVIDIA B200 GPUs.
Targets drug discovery, biotech, and materials science applications.
Ubitus provides 4,096-GPU cluster under GPU-as-a-Service model.
Supported by Incheon City and Incheon Free Economic Zone.
Aims to position East Asia as a leader in hybrid quantum-AI computing.
Led by Yonsei University and Trident Zoetic, the collaboration includes global partners Pasqal (France), D-Wave (Canada), and Ubitus (Japan), with support from Incheon Metropolitan City and Incheon Free Economic Zone. The platform, hosted at Yonsei’s International Campus in Songdo, integrates three quantum systems—IBM’s 127-qubit superconducting quantum computer, Pasqal’s neutral atom platform, and D-Wave’s quantum annealing system—with a 512-node, 4,096-GPU NVIDIA B200 cluster. This hybrid environment enhances algorithmic efficiency for complex simulations and AI-driven tasks.
The platform combines the strengths of quantum computing and GPUs to address computational challenges in drug discovery, biotechnology, and materials science. Quantum systems excel in combinatorial optimization and complex simulations, while NVIDIA B200 GPUs provide scalable power for deep learning and AI inference. “This partnership reflects our commitment to next-generation infrastructure,” said Wesley Kuo, CEO of Ubitus, emphasizing the platform’s role in advancing scientific and industrial innovation.
Ubitus will deploy and manage a 4,096-GPU NVIDIA B200 cluster, operating under a GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) model to support hybrid quantum-AI workloads. This includes use cases like quantum-enhanced learning, drug modeling, and materials simulation. Ubitus’ expertise in cloud streaming and AI infrastructure ensures seamless deployment and long-term operational efficiency, building on its prior collaborations, such as with the University of Tokyo for GPU cloud expansion.
The initiative positions East Asia as a leader in hybrid quantum-AI computing, fostering a collaborative ecosystem for research and commercialization. Yonsei’s Quantum Computing Center, already home to South Korea’s first IBM Quantum System One, strengthens this effort with its focus on industry-academia partnerships. The platform is expected to accelerate innovation, particularly in South Korea’s biotech sector, leveraging proximity to companies like Samsung Biologics and Celltrion.
This partnership marks a transformative step for East Asia’s quantum-AI ecosystem. By integrating cutting-edge quantum and GPU technologies, Ubitus, Yonsei, and Trident Zoetic are paving the way for groundbreaking advancements in science and industry, solidifying South Korea’s role as a global technology hub.
As a member of the NVIDIA Connect program, Ubitus leverages NVIDIA’s support and cutting-edge GPU technology to accelerate AI innovation. The company delivers advanced AI solutions, including UbiGPT (a large language model), UbiONE (an AI-powered avatar creation platform), and UbiArt (an image generation tool), providing customized solutions to meet the diverse needs of various industries.
As a cloud gaming pioneer, Ubitus enables Nintendo and other game companies to establish cloud gaming services and supports the global streaming of multimedia content, including interactive and virtual reality experiences.
