IBM Quantum Computing Shining in the Field
IBM Executive Director Pyo Chang-hee emphasizes that quantum computing is not just an experimental technology but a practical one that solves real industrial problems, with the powerful message that "AI mimics humans, and quantum mimics nature." The IBM quantum computer installed at Yonsei University is the first practical-based system in Korea, being applied to various industrial fields such as early quantum computing services via the cloud, new drug development, and new material design. These examples are evaluated as important investment values that can bring about innovative changes in our economy and industry as a whole.
"Questioning Attitude" and Technical Challenges
Executive Director Pyo says that technology is not just about executing commands but requires constant questioning and curiosity about "why it should be done." The experience accumulated from solving problems directly in the field during the early cloud adoption and AI technology development eras plays a significant role in the current adoption of quantum technology. This spirit of positive investment and challenge for practical application positively impacts the economy as a whole and helps companies secure future industrial competitiveness.
Practical Application Cases and Industrial Changes
In fact, IBM has disclosed cases of applying quantum computing to solve complex efficiency problems for manufacturers, explaining that it has now shifted from "vague possibilities to actual application cases." Quantum technology has the potential to solve problems that are difficult to solve with existing computing, and efforts are being made to ensure that it can be used directly in the industrial field. This movement is expected to create a wave of significant changes throughout the economy and industry and become an important axis of 'innovation.'
Error Correction and Future Vision
Currently, IBM is accelerating the development of 'error correction' technology to solve the core issue of quantum computing, which is error, and aims to implement complete error correction technology by 2029. When this technology is completed, accurate calculations will be possible, and practical innovations based on safer and more powerful computing performance are expected in fields such as finance, security, energy, and new drug development. This is more than just technological advancement; it will become an element that greatly contributes to investment and economic growth in the future industry as a whole.
Opening a New Era with the Convergence of Quantum and AI
Executive Director Pyo explains that quantum computing and artificial intelligence (AI) have a complementary relationship. If AI plays the role of imitating human creativity and intuition, quantum computing plays the role of accurately interpreting complex natural phenomena. For example, in the field of new drug development, if AI identifies promising candidate substances, quantum computers verify their effects through molecular-level simulations. This convergence creates a new problem-solving paradigm, and the multi-computing environment that leverages the strengths of each technology will soon be an important driving force for innovation and economic development in the entire industry.
Investment Strategies to Lead the Future Economy and Industry
Executive Director Pyo divides the present into two types of companies: companies that move proactively through trust and preparation for future technologies and companies that hesitate to invest. Quantum technology does not simply wait, and he emphasizes that the company that challenges first will change the market paradigm afterward. Not only ROI (return on investment) but also a deep understanding of this technology and upfront investment will ultimately determine the competitiveness of the 'industry' and the 'economy' as a whole. The future era is expected to be a wave of innovation in which 'investment' value becomes clear through sufficient learning and empirical experience.
In this way, the quantum computing technology that IBM Executive Director Pyo Chang-hee has practiced in the field is opening new horizons in the industry through technical challenges, collaboration, and a questioning attitude. Centered on the five core keywords of economy, innovation, investment, industry, and technology, an era will come when more companies will proactively adopt this technology to secure competitiveness.
