SDT Joins Canadian Non-Profit Open Quantum Design as Official Manufacturing Partner - Quantum Computing Report

South Korean quantum equipment developer and systems integrator SDT has joined Canadian non-profit organization Open Quantum Design (OQD) as a primary hardware manufacturing partner. Announced at Quantum Korea 2026, the strategic agreement tasks SDT with translating OQD’s open-source hardware blueprints into physical trapped-ion quantum processing units (QPUs) and integrating their supporting control infrastructure. OQD develops full-stack, open-source trapped-ion quantum computers—publishing complete schematics for ultra-high vacuum (UHV) chambers, microfabricated surface ion-trap electrodes, laser control optics, and open software stacks. As the designated manufacturing partner, SDT will fabricate and assemble complete QPU hardware modules, build control electronics, and co-develop user-interface software to make [...]
