SpinQ Expands Globally: National Autonomous University of Mexico Introduces Its Educational Quantum Computers

Recently, SpinQ's two educational-grade quantum computers, the SpinQ Gemini Mini Pro, crossed 14 time zones and arrived at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) in Latin America.

This successful delivery not only makes UNAM the first institution in Latin America to own quantum computing equipment but also marks SpinQ's ex pansion into the global market, helping promote the popularity and development of quantum computing education in the region.

Founded in 1910, UNAM is the largest and oldest comprehensive university in Mexico and Latin America. José Antonio Hernández Espriú, Director of UNAM's Faculty of Engineering, said in a press interview, "[The arrival of SpinQ's educational quantum computers] ushers in a new era that will allow us to analyze, process and enhance our quantum teaching" and will enable students to have more opportunities to develop in the workplace and better expand their quantum research at undergraduate and postgraduate level.

Quantum computing is an emerging computing paradigm that harnesses the entanglement and superposition properties of quantum bits, giving quantum computers far greater computational power than classical computers. In the past, this has often been associated with expensive and bulky machines, creating challenges for quantum education at UNAM. It has also led to a gap between the need for quantum talent development and the high cost of quantum teaching. So finding a cost-effective way to visually present quantum knowledge to students and achieve satisfactory teaching results has become an urgent challenge.

Through the exploratory innovation of nuclear magnetic resonance technology, SpinQ has independently developed portable nuclear magnetic quantum computers, which can integrate the powerful functions of quantum computation into a lightweight body similar to the size of a mini-printer, which has become the key to impress UNAM.

In the view of UNAM, although the device has only two qubits, it is sufficient to demonstrate quantum control and algorithmic demonstration operations, so that students can understand the new knowledge and technology related to quantum computing in real practice, rather than relying on the imagination to understand those "abstract new concepts" in quantum computing as in the past.

The two SpinQ Gemini Mini Pros are now in use at the UNAM School of Engineering, enabling the university's quantum computing program to move beyond theoretical courses and simulations to a new model driven by hands-on teaching with real quantum machines. To maximize the use of the equipment, the School of Engineering will also look to re-engineer the curriculum, incorporating modern physics subjects into computer engineering to provide students with a deeper understanding of quantum computing.

In an interview with local media, Alejandro Velázquez Mena, head of UNAM's School of Engineering, said that the purchase of SpinQ's educational quantum computers "is part of a comprehensive plan to improve the teaching and research infrastructure," adding that "these new research programs will be ready in about a year.

In the meantime, our quantum pioneers (teachers and some students) will begin training through thematic courses, seminars, and conferences so that when the new study programs are ready, there will be sufficient human resources to teach them to students."

As the first company in the world to sell quantum computing products across all five continents, SpinQ is one of the fastest-growing companies in China's quantum computing industry to complete its international market expansion.

SpinQ has established a global customer base in countries and regions such as the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Norway, Slovenia, Russia, Brazil, Japan, and many others. SpinQ has also made its mark at top institutions, including Duke University, the University of Waterloo, the University of Western Australia, the University of Tokyo, Oslo University, Tsinghua University, Fudan University, Beijing Institute of Technology, Shenzhen High School, and more.

Going forward, SpinQ will continue to optimize its quantum computing products, services, and solutions to drive the advancement of global quantum computing education and industry.
