South Korea Launches 614 PFLOPS Hangang Supercomputer Ahead of May 2027 IonQ Quantum Link
Quantum Computing Report · By Mohamed Abdel-Kareem ·
The Brief
- South Korea has launched its sixth national supercomputer, Hangang.
- Hangang has a peak performance of 614 petaflops.
- It is designed as the high-performance computing backbone for the country's first hybrid quantum-classical computing platform, which will integrate with IonQ's quantum systems ahead of a May 2027 link.
Why it matters
It shows a national-scale push to couple classical supercomputing with quantum hardware, a model science teams may increasingly encounter in shared research infrastructure.
