November 19, 2024 -- SDT, a quantum standard technology company, has announced plans to establish a joint venture with Anyon Technologies, a leading quantum computing firm, by the end of this year. The collaboration aims to develop and produce a 20-qubit superconducting quantum computer system integrated with NVIDIA’s Grace Hopper Superchip.

The joint venture will utilize SDT’s production facilities and infrastructure to manufacture and assemble all components of the quantum computing system, excluding the Quantum Processing Unit (QPU). Anyon Technologies will supply its proprietary dilution refrigerator technology and oversee the production and delivery of the 20-qubit QPU.

SDT plans to commence pilot production early next year, aiming to produce at least one complete superconducting quantum computer system and three dilution refrigerators before scaling up to mass production. The partnership intends to supply these advanced quantum computing solutions across Asia, including Korea, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.

Anyon Technologies has been developing high-performance superconducting quantum processors and related technologies since 2021, holding exclusive intellectual property in areas such as on-chip control and microwave quantum networking. Their scalable qubit architecture supports expansion to 100 and 1,000 qubits, positioning them at the forefront of quantum computing innovation.

The initial product from this collaboration will be a 20-qubit system integrated with NVIDIA’s Grace Hopper Superchip, facilitating hybrid quantum-classical computing. This integration is expected to drive advancements in various fields, including financial services and artificial intelligence.

Through this joint venture, SDT and Anyon Technologies aim to establish a unique and robust partnership in the Asian quantum computing sector, leveraging their combined expertise to lead the commercialization and supply of superconducting quantum computers in the region.
