Global neutral-atom quantum computing firm Pasqal and South Korea-based MegazoneCloud have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to jointly explore a series of quantum computing initiatives designed to accelerate enterprise adoption, expand commercial deployment capabilities, and strengthen quantum technology development across South Korea.
The collaboration is intended to move enterprises from pilot to production through managed cloud access, targeted use cases development, and on-premises QPU deployment.
Supported by MegazoneCloud’s enterprise cloud infrastructure, the initiatives aim to support Korea’s broader digital and technological transformation.
The MoU establishes a framework for collaboration across the following key areas. One is Quantum Processing Unit (QPU) integration into managed cloud services. They will explore the integration of Pasqal’s full-stack neutral-atom QPU technology, including Quantum Software Development Kits (QSDKs), within MegazoneCloud’s managed cloud service portfolio. This is expected to enable South Korean enterprises to access quantum workloads through a trusted domestic cloud provider.
Another area is enterprise use case development. They will jointly identify and develop quantum computing use cases across four priority sectors, namely finance, logistics, biotechnology, and manufacturing, through enterprise seminars, technical workshops, and co-developed solution demonstrations.
A third area is on-premises QPU deployment. They will pursue dedicated on-premises QPU deployment opportunities at domestic customers and integration with high-performance computing (HPC) centers, to help strengthen South Korea’s hybrid classical-quantum computing capabilities and ecosystem.
Pasqal’s neutral-atom systems already support 25+ commercial use cases for global enterprises across oil & gas, financial services and materials science. MegazoneCloud’s clients will now be able to access that same industrial-grade capability domestically.
Wasiq Bokhari, Pasqal CEO, said South Korean enterprises are heavy users of cloud computing and are ready for quantum.
“This MoU with MegazoneCloud is the foundation for a commercial partnership that will drive adoption, putting Pasqal’s neutral-atom hardware where it matters most: inside enterprise workflows, at scale, through a platform Korean organizations already trust,” said Bokhari.
Brad Kim, CQO of MegazoneCloud, said quantum computing is the most consequential infrastructure investment a Korean enterprise can make over the next decade.
“(T)his MoU with Pasqal positions our clients to move today, with confidence, and through a partner of global standing,” said Kim.
