"The Era of AI, and Quantum Technology"

SDT participated in World IT Show 2026, the largest ICT exhibition in Korea, and introduced its hybrid quantum computing platform QuREKA and quantum education program QuREKA Academy. The theme of this year’s World IT Show was 'Beyond Idea, Into Action: AI moves Reality.' As AI is rapidly reshaping industries across the board, many companies, researchers, and educators have already begun asking the next question.

The answer lies in quantum computing. And quantum computing is no longer a technology of the distant future; it has reached a stage where developers and companies can hold it in their hands and experiment with it even now. This year’s World IT Show was a place where we could show many people that fact directly.

QuREKA - The Easiest Way to Start Hybrid Quantum-AI Computing

At this exhibition, many people showed interest in SDT’s hybrid quantum computing platform QuREKA. The two questions most often asked by visitors encountering QuREKA for the first time were:

• "Can our company really use a quantum computer?"

• "If we did, where should we start?"
  
  

Many people already know about the potential of quantum computing, but when it comes to how to begin, they often feel uncertain. That is exactly why SDT created QuREKA. It lowers the barrier to entry for quantum computing and enables researchers and developers to immediately begin applying quantum algorithms to their own problems using the familiar Python language.

QuREKA Academy - A Shortcut to Quantum Transformation

For those who want to adopt quantum computing but are unsure where to start, SDT also introduced QuREKA Academy at WIS 2026.

QuREKA Academy is an educational program for students, researchers, and industry practitioners encountering quantum computing for the first time. It is designed to cover, in balanced measure, everything from the basic concepts of quantum mechanics to implementing actual quantum algorithms and how to apply quantum computing to problems encountered in industry settings.

At this exhibition, in particular, many visitors who were not IT professionals showed great interest in QuREKA Academy. Researchers who said, "I’ve heard a lot about quantum, but I’ve never really studied it properly," and company representatives who said, "We need to set up an internal quantum TF, but we’ve been struggling because there isn’t a clear learning path for the team," stayed at the booth for a long time and asked in-depth questions about the program. SDT believes that QuREKA Academy is not just a lecture program, but one that helps those taking their first steps toward quantum transformation build practical quantum computing capabilities beyond theory through hands-on practice using real QPUs.

The biggest change SDT felt while operating the booth was that the way people view quantum computing is changing rapidly. Whereas last year many asked, "Do quantum computers really work?" this year many asked, "What problems can they solve in our industry?"

Professionals from industries such as finance, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, and security visited the booth and discussed concrete adoption scenarios together, a clear sign that quantum computing is moving from the language of the lab to the language of industry.

Quantum computing is no longer a technology "for someday." It is already a reality that has begun, and SDT believes its role is to help create that beginning together. SDT will continue to work so that more people can directly experience and directly use quantum computing through QuREKA and QuREKA Academy.
