QAI announced on the 6th that it had brought in talent in quantum computing and AI infrastructure. To accelerate the deployment of a Korean-style quantum cloud, the company appointed two new hires: Kim Eui-tae, cofounder of Devkra, and Shin Seong-wook, professor at Sejong University.
Kim Eui-tae was appointed co-CEO in charge of technology and CTO. CEO Lim Se-man will remain in his current role and focus on management and attracting investment. Kim holds a master's degree in computer science from KAIST and previously co-founded Devkra and served as head of Devkra Research Institute. He has also led AI and digital transformation projects for major companies such as Samsung Electronics and GS Caltex, and at QAI he will be responsible for IT infrastructure, AI services, and customer-facing web service development.
Shin Seong-wook was appointed head of the research institute. His specialty is QML(Quantum Machine Learning) research, and he holds a doctorate in physics from Seoul National University. He also worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Free University of Berlin in Germany and serves as an adjunct professor at Sejong University. In addition, he specializes in evaluating the practical gains of quantum algorithms versus conventional GPU computing, and at QAI he will lead research on quantum algorithms and commercialization.
Through these appointments, QAI has established a structure in which Kim Eui-tae will oversee service and infrastructure development, Shin Seong-wook will lead quantum algorithm research, and CEO Lim Se-man will focus on management and investment attraction. The company linked this to accelerating the implementation of a Korean-style quantum cloud.
QAI is broadening its business scope with the goal of becoming a knowledge-processing infrastructure company spanning GPU, high-performance computers, and quantum computers. Kim Eui-tae also said the company aims to become a knowledge-processing infrastructure firm that covers GPU, high-performance computers, and quantum computers.
To that end, QAI said it has built domestic quantum equipment and GPU infrastructure. Based on this, the company is preparing to deliver sovereign quantum services and is also preparing a hybrid cloud service that combines GPU and QPU(Quantum Processing Unit). Kim Eui-tae said the company is pursuing an early launch of a sovereign quantum cloud based on domestic equipment.
