QunaSys, a leading Japanese innovator in quantum computing software, has announced a strategic partnership with Hon Hai Research Institute, a Taiwanese leader in advanced quantum technology. The collaboration will focus on integrating Hon Hai Research Institute’s advanced Fermionic Encoding methods, a technique that allows for more efficient simulation and manipulation of quantum particles, into QunaSys' quantum toolkit, QURI Parts. This partnership with the institute affiliated with Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn), the world’s largest electronics manufacturing service provider, aims to advance the development of quantum algorithms and enhance performance across quantum simulators and computers.
The two teams will conduct research on utilizing AI technologies to improve and refine Hon Hai Research Institute’s Fermionic Encoding methods, driving forward innovation in quantum simulation. This groundbreaking research is expected to result in new methodologies and algorithms that will accelerate advancements in quantum computing.
By integrating these new methods into QURI Parts, the partnership aims to make quantum simulations—especially those involving complex systems—more accurate and efficient. The upgraded toolkit will offer users powerful new features, smoothly working with other parts of QURI Parts to maximize performance across both quantum simulations and actual quantum computers.
This collaboration represents a significant step forward for both QunaSys and Hon Hai Research Institute, not only in the development of quantum software but also in the expansion of research and development capabilities. Both parties are committed to fostering innovation, sharing knowledge, and driving new discoveries that will benefit the entire quantum computing ecosystem.
"This partnership underscores our commitment to pushing the boundaries of quantum coding and software,” said Tennin Yan, CEO of QunaSys. “By working closely with Hon Hai Research Institute, we are combining our strengths to unlock new possibilities and deliver cutting-edge solutions that will shape the future of quantum technology."
Min-Hsiu Hsieh, Director of the Quantum Computing Research Center at the Hon Hai Research Institute, said: "Partnering with QunaSys allows us to bring our Fermionic Encoding methods to a wider audience while simultaneously pushing the boundaries of what’s possible through collaborative research on Neural Networks."
