MegazoneCloud & Classiq Boost Quantum Computing in Korea

MegazoneCloud and Classiq Technologies signed a memorandum of understanding on July 1st, 2025, at Quantum Korea, to accelerate the commercialisation of quantum computing in Asia. The partnership will co-develop educational programmes and pilot projects, leveraging Classiq’s quantum software platform to expand MegazoneCloud’s existing AWS Braket services and target a rapidly growing market; MegazoneCloud anticipates increased demand following a $20 million investment in quantum infrastructure over the past 18 months.

The partnership between MegazoneCloud and Classiq Technologies, formalised through a Memorandum of Understanding at Quantum Korea 2025, focuses on three core areas: the development of quantum education programmes within Korea, the design and execution of client-specific pilot projects, and the exploration of technical integrations to facilitate hybrid computing environments. This collaboration aims to address key challenges in the nascent field of quantum computing and accelerate the transition from theoretical research to practical application.

A central component of the agreement is the intention to broaden access to quantum development tools. Classiq’s platform, which employs a high-level abstraction layer and advanced compilation technology, is intended to lower the barrier to entry for developers lacking specialist quantum expertise. This is particularly relevant as the complexity of quantum hardware increases, with the number of physical qubits requiring increasingly sophisticated software solutions for effective control and optimisation. The emphasis on a model-first approach is anticipated to be crucial in scaling quantum programs for future hardware capabilities.

MegazoneCloud’s existing role as an AWS Cloud Managed Service Provider and its support for AWS Braket provide a foundation for this expanded offering. The integration of Classiq’s development tools is expected to enhance MegazoneCloud’s capacity to deliver industry-ready quantum solutions, solidifying its ambition to become a leading quantum cloud service hub within Asia. This strategic alignment reflects a broader trend towards cloud-based access to quantum computing resources, enabling organisations to experiment with and deploy quantum algorithms without significant upfront investment in hardware. The partnership is therefore positioned to contribute to the wider process of quantum computing commercialization by providing a more accessible and integrated development ecosystem.

Joint activities are planned to encompass industry-driven proof-of-concept projects, bespoke client workshops, and engagement with developer communities both locally and internationally. These initiatives are designed to foster innovation, build expertise, and accelerate the adoption of quantum technologies across a range of industrial sectors. The collaboration also underscores the growing bilateral ties between Korea and Israel in the field of quantum technology, and is expected to promote broader quantum innovation throughout the Asian region.

Advancing Quantum Commercialisation

This partnership extends beyond tool provision to encompass a concerted effort to build a skilled quantum workforce. The development of quantum education programmes within Korea is intended to address a critical skills gap, fostering local expertise in quantum algorithm design and software development. This focus on education is crucial for sustaining long-alterm innovation and ensuring that Korean industry can effectively leverage the potential of quantum technologies.

MegazoneCloud’s established network of over 7,000 clients and collaborations with over 140 independent software vendors (ISVs) provides a substantial platform for disseminating Classiq’s technology and fostering wider adoption. This existing ecosystem is expected to accelerate the transition from proof-of-concept projects to scalable, industry-ready solutions, driving quantum computing commercialization across multiple sectors. The company’s local operations in nine countries further extend the reach of this collaboration, facilitating engagement with international markets and developer communities.

The emphasis on hybrid computing environments is also noteworthy. As fully fault-tolerant, large-scale quantum computers remain distant, a practical approach involves integrating quantum co-processors with existing classical infrastructure. This allows businesses to offload specific computational tasks to quantum hardware, achieving performance gains without requiring a complete overhaul of their existing IT systems. This approach is likely to be a key driver of early adoption and provides a pathway for businesses to begin experimenting with quantum algorithms in real-world applications.

Classiq’s Quantum Software Platform

Classiq Technologies provides a comprehensive quantum software platform encompassing an integrated development environment (IDE), compiler, and operating system. This platform automates key aspects of quantum programming, enabling both enterprises and researchers to construct complex quantum applications without requiring in-depth expertise in quantum physics or algorithm design. At the core of Classiq’s approach is proprietary algorithmic quantum circuit compilation technology, which rapidly synthesises quantum circuits containing millions of gates. This capability is crucial for scaling sophisticated quantum programs and ensuring their efficient execution on diverse quantum computing hardware.

The platform’s ability to generate complex circuits quickly addresses a significant bottleneck in quantum software development. Traditional methods of quantum circuit design are often laborious and error-prone, particularly as the complexity of the algorithm increases. By automating this process, Classiq aims to accelerate the development cycle and reduce the time-to-market for quantum applications. This is particularly relevant for industries exploring the potential of quantum computing for optimisation, machine learning, and materials science, where complex algorithms are often required to achieve meaningful results.

Furthermore, the platform’s hardware-agnostic design ensures compatibility with a range of quantum computing architectures. This is a critical advantage in a rapidly evolving landscape, where different quantum computing modalities – including superconducting qubits, trapped ions, and photonic systems – are competing for dominance. By supporting multiple hardware platforms, Classiq’s platform mitigates the risk of vendor lock-in and allows users to select the hardware best suited to their specific application requirements. This flexibility is essential for fostering innovation and accelerating the broader adoption of quantum technologies.
