Quantum computers will be a game-changer in various fields, such as cryptography and new materials. Quantum computer is quite different from the classical computer by using quantum-mechanical phenomena, such as superposition, entanglement, and interference. The main components of a quantum computer can be divided into quantum-algorithm, quantum-classical control interface, and quantum processor. Universal quantum computing, which can be applied in various industries, is expected to have more than millions of qubits with high enough gate accuracy. Currently, It uses general-purpose electronic equipment, which is placed in a rack, at room temperature to make electronic signals that control qubits. However, implementing a universal quantum computer with a low error rate requires a lot of qubits demands the change of the current control system to be an integrated and miniaturized system that can be operated at low temperatures. In this study, we explore the fundamental units of the control system, describe the problems and alternatives of the current control system, and discuss a future quantum control system.

This paper reviews the literature that has been published since 1980s related to cryogenic refrigeration systems for quantum computing. The reason why such a temperature level of 10-20 mK is necessary for quantum computing is that the superconducting qubit is sensitive to even very small thermal disturbances. The entanglement of the qubits may not be sustained due to thermal fluctuations and mechanical vibrations beyond their thresholds. This phenomenon is referred to as decoherence, and it causes an computation error in operation. For the stable operation of the quantum computer, a low-vibration cryogenic refrigeration system is imperative as an enabling technology. Conventional dilution refrigerators (DR), so called 'wet' DR, are precooled by liquid helium, but a more convenient and economical precooling method can be achieved by using a mechanical refrigerator instead of liquid cryogen. These 'dry' DRs typically equip pulse-tube refrigerators (PTR) for precooling the DRs around 4 K because of its particular advantage of low vibration characteristic. In this review paper, we have focused on the development status of 4 K PTRs and further potential development issues will be also discussed. A quiet 4 K refrigerator not only serves as an indispensable precooler of DR but also immediately enhances the characteristics of low noise amplifiers (LNA) or other cryo-electronics of various type quantum computers.

Recently, the numerous authentication and key distribution protocol for NFC payment environment have been proposed using public key cryptosystems. However, these protocol are vulnerable to quantum computing attack because quantum computing can solve factoring and discrete logarithm problem effectively using Grover and Shor's algorithm. For these reason, the secure authentication and key distribution have become a very important security issue in order to prevent quantum computing attacks. Therefore, to ensure user's payment information and privacy, we propose a secure quantum resistant authentication and key distribution protocol for NFC payment environments.

In the rapidly growing field of quantum computing, it is evident that a robust supply chain is needed for commercialization or large-scale production of quantum chips. As a result, the success of many R&D projects worldwide relies on the development of quantum chip foundries. In this paper, a variety of quantum chip foundries, particularly the ones creating photonic integrated circuit (PIC) quantum chips, are reviewed and summarized to demonstrate current technological trends. Global projects aiming to establish new foundries, as well as information regarding their respective funding, are also included to identify the evolutionary direction of quantum computing infrastructure. Furthermore, the potential application of lithium niobate as a novel material platform for quantum chips is also discussed.

블록체인은 중앙신뢰 기관의 개입 없이 분산 컴퓨팅 환경에서 데이터를 관리하는 기술이다. 블록체인의 보안성, 효율성, 응용성으로 인하여 현재 금융 분야뿐만 아니라 제조, 문화, 공공 등 다양한 분야에서 블록체인 기술이 활용되고 있다. 그동안 블록체인에서 공격자는 51% 이상의 해시 파워를 갖출 수 없다고 여겨졌지만 최근 이에 대한 공격과 피해사례가 발생하고 있으며, 이기적인 채굴자 공격을 포함한 대용량 컴퓨팅 능력을 갖춘 공격의 빈도가 증가하고 있다. 또한, 일반 컴퓨터와 차원이 다른 성능을 발휘하는 양자컴퓨터의 발전은 블록체인의 새로운 위협이 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 블록체인 특징과 합의 알고리즘에 대해 소개하고 컴퓨팅 연산력을 이용한 블록체인 공격기법을 설명한다. 그리고, 대용량 컴퓨팅 환경 구축방법과 양자 컴퓨터를 사용하는 공격 알고리즘이 블록체인 보안성에 미치는 영향을 분석한다. 마지막으로, 블록체인의 보안성을 향상하기 위한 대용량 컴퓨팅 공격 보호 기술 및 앞으로의 발전 방향을 제시한다.

In recent years, spins of confined carriers in quantum dots are promising candidates for the logical units in quantum computers. In many concepts developed so far, the individual spin q-bits are being manipulated by magnetic fields, which is difficult to achieve. In the current research the recent developments of spin based quantum computing has been reviewed. Then, Single-hole spin in a molecular quantum dots with less energy and more speed has been electrically manipulated and the results have been compared with the magnetic manipulating of the spin.

The SIP(Session Initiation Protocol) is an application layer call signaling protocol which can create, modify and terminate the session of user, and provides various services in combination with numerous existing protocols. However, most of cryptosystems for SIP cannot prevent quantum computing attack because they have used ECC(Elliptic Curve Cryptosystem). In this paper, we propose a NTRU based authentication and key distribution protocol for SIP in order to protect quantum computing attacks. The proposed protocol can prevent various attacks such as quantum computing attack, server spoofing attack, man-in-the middle attack and impersonation attack anonymity, and our protocol can provide user's anonymity.

In this research, policies, and technology trends associated with quantum computers were examined, and through this, implications for domestic methods were derived. It is not a guarantee that developing quantum computing technology suited for domestic use would be successful to emulate the success stories of technology-leading nations. Technology leaders like the United States, China, and Europe are putting together strategic technology blocks to compete for technological hegemony. Adapting to and exploiting this trend will help us develop future technologies and secure market competitiveness. The dominant technology in the area of quantum computing has not yet been established. In the future, there will be fair competition in every specific technology area. At this point, it may be claimed that making audacious decisions will still lead to technological superiority.
