With its studies on quantum technologies since 2010, TOBB University of Economics and Technology (TOBB ETÜ) aims to help Turkey become one of the world's leading countries in this field.
In this context, the university's work was used to develop the country's first quantum computer. The computer launch ceremony will take place tomorrow at the TOBB ETÜ Technology Center. The name and functions of the quantum computer will be announced to the public at this ceremony.
Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz and President of the Defense Industry Presidency Prof. attended the ceremony. Dr. Haluk Görgün, TOBB President Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu and TOBB ETÜ Rector Prof. Dr. Many names, including Yusuf Sarınay, are planned to take part.
A promotional film about quantum computing will be shown at the event and participants will have the opportunity to examine this technology on site.
Türkiye's first quantum computer was developed with an infrastructure open to continuous development. This is seen as a crucial step not only in terms of technological independence, but also in terms of Turkey's vision to be a leader in the quantum technologies ecosystem.
The international competitiveness of information technology technologies will increase
Quantum computers, unlike classical computers, perform operations with “quantum bits” (qubits) instead of “bits”. A qubit's ability to represent more than one state at a time attracts attention by increasing computing power millions of times and solving complex problems. The quantum computer is intended to increase Türkiye's international competitiveness in the field of computer technologies.
The potential areas of application for quantum computers are quite broad. These include cryptography (more secure data encryption systems), artificial intelligence (fast processing of complex algorithms), defense industry (development of strategic technologies), climate modeling and simulations (analysis of global warming and natural disasters), and advanced materials science (discovery of new manufacturing materials and analysis).
Young people are supported
Quantum technology will also offer young people and entrepreneurs new opportunities. The aim of TOBB ETÜ is to encourage young researchers to train in this field with quantum computing. In addition, the “Quantum Ecosystem”, which will be put into operation as part of TOBB ETÜ, aims to create a competitive advantage at the global level in this area by supporting entrepreneurs in the development of domestic hardware and components in quantum technologies.
