Prospects for the development of quantum technologies

Employees of the department of computer science, faculty of information technologies, Kazakh National University named after Al-Farabi visited SPINQ, a company based in Shenzhen (China), which specializes in the development of compact quantum computers.

The research group consisted of head of the department of computer science, Daribayev Beimbet Serikovich, doctoral student Mukhanbet Aksultan Aituaruly, and master’s student Azatbekuly Nurtugan. During the visit, they got acquainted with compact models of quantum computers, such as SPINQ Gemini, SPINQ Gemini Lab, and SPINQ Triangulum. These devices are unique quantum systems designed for educational and research purposes, as well as for solving practical problems in scientific and industrial environments. SPINQ representatives demonstrated how quantum technologies can be used to solve optimization tasks and simulate complex physical processes that are beyond the reach of traditional computing systems.

The visit was an important step in expanding scientific collaboration and deepening knowledge in the field of quantum technologies. Currently, negotiations are underway between the two organizations to sign a cooperation agreement, which will further develop joint projects in the field of quantum technologies.

The visit was an important step in expanding scientific cooperation and deepening knowledge in the field of quantum technologies. At the moment, negotiations are underway to conclude a cooperation agreement that will ensure the further development of joint projects in the field of quantum technologies.

As part of this cooperation, it is planned to purchase a compact quantum computer for the computer science laboratory of Al-Farabi Kazakh National University. A computer uses the laws of quantum mechanics to process data, solving problems differently than traditional systems. This device is a simplified version of a quantum computer, designed mainly for scientific research and educational purposes. Unlike large quantum systems, this computer uses a small number of qubits and can function at room temperature, which makes it a convenient tool for studying the basics of quantum technologies and modeling small quantum processes.

The acquisition of such a device will allow the university to reach a new level in the education and research of quantum systems, as well as prepare specialists to work with advanced technologies of the future.

The university extends its sincere gratitude to SPINQ for the invaluable opportunity to engage with cutting-edge developments and observe the future of computer science in practice.
