Vietnam’s largest private information technology firm, FPT Corporation, is partnering with Quandela to build a quantum ecosystem within the country through a two-year Memorandum of Understanding. The agreement will combine FPT’s market expertise with Quandela’s photonic quantum computing hardware, software and cloud infrastructure. Quandela may provide FPT researchers with access to its cloud-based quantum computing infrastructure, allowing experimentation and application identification. This collaboration will also focus on quantum research, education and talent development initiatives within Vietnam.

FPT and Quandela’s Two-Year Framework for Quantum Collaboration

FPT Corporation and Quandela formalized their commitment to quantum technology development with a two-year Memorandum of Understanding, establishing a defined timeline for collaborative exploration. This partnership extends beyond research, encompassing cloud computing access and initiatives designed to cultivate quantum expertise within Vietnam. A key component of the framework involves potential access for FPT researchers to Quandela’s cloud-based quantum computing infrastructure, avoiding the substantial capital investment typically required for local hardware deployment.

FPT intends to establish a dedicated research group to use this access, conducting experimentation and identifying practical applications for quantum computing within Vietnamese industries. The companies will also jointly investigate quantum algorithms, communications protocols and cybersecurity applications, broadening the scope of innovation.

Education and talent development form a third pillar of the collaboration; FPT’s university and high-school programs will benefit from access to quantum learning environments and open-source tools. The Memorandum of Understanding also outlines potential cooperation with Vietnamese universities, aiming to expand the reach of quantum education beyond FPT’s immediate network.

Ivy Delaney has been working with neural networks and machine learning since the mid-nineties, back when a couple of hidden layers and a long afternoon of training counted as ambitious. She has watched the field go from academic curiosity to the thing quietly running underneath everything, and she brings that long view to quantum computing. For Quantum Zeitgeist she covers the ground where the two fields meet. That means quantum machine learning and the variational algorithms it leans on, and it also means the less glamorous but more interesting story of classical machine learning already doing real work inside quantum machines, decoding error-correcting codes, calibrating noisy hardware and learning the error models that simulators depend on. She writes about the hardware those algorithms have to run on too, and about the post-quantum cryptography scramble that the same hardware has set off. Her stories typically start with the paper, whether that is peer-reviewed work, conference proceedings or an arXiv preprint, with the source linked so you can hold a claim up against the research it came from. She is unimpressed by benchmarks that will not say what they beat, and by demonstrations that only work in the press release.
