National Autonomous University of Mexico：SpinQ Helps Latin America Open a New Chapter in Quantum Computing

Recently, SpinQ's two educational-grade quantum computers, "SpinQ Gemini Mini Pro" , crossed 14 time zones and arrived at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) in Latin America. The successful delivery of this educational-grade quantum computer not only means that UNAM has become the first institution in Latin America to own quantum computing equipment but also means that SpinQ has expanded its global market territory and helped 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 these quantum computers] ushers in a new era that will allow us to analyze, process and enhance our teaching" and will enable students to have more opportunities to develop in the workplace and better expand their research at undergraduate and postgraduate level.

 

Quantum computing is an emerging computing paradigm that gives quantum computers a powerful arithmetic power far beyond that of classical computers through the entanglement and superposition properties of quantum bits, which in the past has often been associated with expensive and bulky machines, and has caused problems for quantum teaching at the UNAM, as well as creating an invisible barrier between the need for talent development and the high cost of teaching. How to visually present quantum knowledge to students in a cost-effective way and achieve satisfactory teaching results is an urgent problem.

 

Through the exploratory innovation of nuclear magnetic resonance technology, SpinQ has independently developed a portable nuclear magnetic quantum computer, 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 bits, 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 UNAM's quantum computing program to go beyond theoretical courses or simulations to a new model driven by hands-on teaching on real machines. To maximize equipment usage, UNAM's Engineering School will also be looking to re-engineer the curriculum, including adding modern physics subjects to computer engineering to give students an 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 the equipment "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. ready. 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 to all five continents, SpinQ is one of the fastest quantum computing companies in Chinese quantum computing industry to complete its international market layout, with customers in the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Norway, Slovenia, Russia, Brazil, Japan, and other countries and regions, and has already established its presence at Duke University, the University of Waterloo, the University of Western Australia University, University of Waterloo, University of Western Australia, University of Tokyo, Oslo City University, Tsinghua University, Fudan University, Beijing Institute of Technology, Shenzhen High School and other top schools at home and abroad.

 

In the future, SpinQ will continue to optimize its quantum computing products, services, and solutions to promote the development of global quantum computing education and industry.
