[Market Focus] Hanul Materials Science Surges on IBM's $215 Trillion Quantum Computer Investment in U.S.; Spotlight on Quantum Cryptography Technology

Hanul Materials Science is showing strong performance. The company has emerged as a quantum-related stock following news that IBM will invest 215 trillion won over five years in the United States to develop quantum computers.

As of 10:52 a.m. on April 29, shares of Hanul Materials Science were trading at 3,455 won, up 5.02% from the previous day.

According to industry sources, IBM in the United States announced on April 28 (local time) that it will invest $150 billion (approximately 215 trillion won) over the next five years to develop IBM’s mainframe and quantum computer systems.

IBM stated, “Quantum computing represents the largest technological platform shift and economic opportunity in decades,” adding, “Quantum computers will solve problems that today’s conventional computers cannot address.”

IBM currently operates the world’s largest quantum computer system and stated that it will manufacture and assemble quantum computer systems on the U.S. coast in the future.

Meanwhile, Hanul Materials Science is known to have succeeded in developing quantum cryptography communication technology, which is impossible to hack, as well as POTN (Packet Optical Transport Network) equipment capable of ultra-high-speed and high-capacity transmission. POTN is a next-generation communication solution that integrates optical transmission, circuit, and packet network functions into a single system, boasting dramatically improved transmission capacity and efficiency compared to existing MSPP and PTN systems.
