Defense artificial intelligence (AI) technology company Punjin announced on the 26th that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with global quantum computing company Liggeti Computing and domestic quantum computing company Norma to cooperate in developing quantum software-based defense AI technology.
Through this agreement, the three companies agreed to cooperate closely in areas such as ▲ conducting joint R&BD commercialization (R&BD) in quantum software ▲ development of technologies such as quantum AI, quantum machine learning, and optimization algorithms applicable to the defense sector ▲ exchange of quantum computing infrastructure and know-how ▲ development of hybrid AI (classical + quantum computing) models for defense.
It also plans to carry out various cooperative tasks to advance advanced defense technologies, such as commercializing quantum computing-based defense, discovering and promoting joint projects, and creating synergy through technology exchanges.
Founded in the United States in 2013, Liggeti Computing is a full-stack quantum computing company that independently develops superconducting circuit-based quantum computers with global quantum software and hardware technology. Norma is applying quantum computing technology to defense, aerospace, gaming, finance, and new drug development to secure quantum advantage references. In particular, it will launch an 84-qubit quantum cloud service in the second half of this year in collaboration with Liggeti Computing.
Punjin recently introduced future defense technologies such as artificial intelligence electromagnetic spectrum reconnaissance systems, synthetic data generation platforms, and AI Air Defense Command Decision System (KWM-ARDFNS). With the signing of this MOU, the strategy is to further improve the performance of the next-generation AI command decision support system by integrating the algorithm structure of the defense AI model with quantum computing technology.
“This agreement is a very meaningful cooperation to secure not only the evolution of defense AI technology, but also the technological superiority of the future battlefield,” said Kim Deuk-hwa, CEO of Punjin. “By combining a new technological paradigm of quantum computing and Punjin’s defense AI technology, we will lead defense technology innovation in the era of intelligent battlefields.”
