PRESS RELEASE — Norma, a South Korean company specializing in quantum security and quantum computing, has signed an MOU with Maybell Quantum, a U.S.-based quantum computing infrastructure company, to introduce an integrated quantum computing system in South Korea.
The MOU ceremony, held recently at Norma’s headquarters, aims to accelerate the commercialization of quantum computers in the South Korean market and contribute to the advancement of quantum technologies. Norma plans to focus on successfully introducing Maybell Quantum’s integrated quantum computing systems, including its cryogenic cooling systems, into the Korean market. Maybell Quantum has committed to enhancing technical support to ensure its Quantum Processing Units (QPUs) and control electronics are fully compatible with Norma’s Quantum Factory system. The two companies will also collaborate on joint marketing efforts, technical demonstrations, and securing new customers and partners.
Founded in 2021 in Denver, Colorado, Maybell Quantum specializes in quantum computing infrastructure and has grown with support from the U.S. government. In its recent Series A funding round, the company raised $25 million, focusing primarily on scaling up the production of dilution refrigerators used for cooling superconducting qubits. These cooling systems maintain the operational temperature of quantum chips and block external noise, creating a stable environment for quantum computing.
Maybell Quantum’s dilution refrigerators stand out for their reliability, space efficiency, and scalability, enabling them to accommodate more qubits than conventional cryogenic systems.
Brian Chu, COO of Maybell Quantum, remarked, “Our cooling systems are compact, highly portable, and require minimal maintenance. They are designed to enhance research efficiency and support expanded quantum computing applications compared to traditional systems. We look forward to collaborating with Norma to introduce an integrated full-stack solution to the Korean market.”
Hyun-chul Jung, CEO of Norma, added, “Maybell Quantum’s cooling system offers innovative technology that is as user-friendly as a standard refrigerator. This partnership is expected to play a key role in accelerating the commercialization of quantum computers in South Korea.”
