New international partnership in quantum technologies
University researchers have partnered with Sung Kyung Kwan University (SKKU) in the South Korea for a major new international partnership in quantum technologies.
The five-year project aims to develop cutting-edge quantum devices.
Led by Professor Robert Hadfield, of the James Watt School of Engineering, and Professor Yonuk Chong, of the SKKU Advanced Institute of Nanotechnology, the researchers will work together to create next-generation superconducting photon detectors for demanding applications such as secure quantum communication networks in optical fibre and space.
The partnership builds on a Memorandum of Understanding on Research Cooperation between the University and SKKU that was signed in March 2022.
Professor Konstantinos Kontis is the University’s Dean for Global Engagement (China & East Asia) and said: “This consolidates the strong partnership between the University of Glasgow and SKKU, two universities with historic traditions which are world-leading in advanced science and engineering.”
