The New Generation Quantum Technology International Standards Development Committee, which aims to change the future industrial landscape, has been officially established in South Korea. The National Institute of Technical Standards of the Ministry of Industry, Commerce, and Resources (hereinafter referred to as the National Institute of Standards) will hold a three-day founding meeting of the Bilateral Technical Joint Technical Committee (IEC/ISO JTC3, hereinafter referred to as JTC3) at the Seoul Plaza Hotel from May 28th (Tuesday) to 30th (Thursday). At that time, more than 100 delegations from 22 countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and China, will attend.

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) jointly established JTC3 in December last year to recognize the importance of quantum technology as the core of future cutting-edge industries and promote research and development, as well as industrialization in quantum computing, communication, materials, sensing, and other related fields through standardization. This is the first time in 37 years since the establishment of the Joint Technical Committee (JTC1) for Information Technology (IT) such as Artificial Intelligence and Information Security in 1987. The contribution made by China in the establishment of JTC3, including the issuance of quantum technology standard white papers, has been recognized. In February of this year, the first chairman was appointed and the first JTC3 conference was held in China.

Enterprises such as IBM, Microsoft, LG Electronics, Huawei, as well as research institutions such as the UK Institute of Physics (NPL) and the US Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), as well as government agencies such as the Japanese Ministry of Economic Affairs (METI) and the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), attended the founding conference. At the conference, experts will discuss the composition of quantum technology standard development organizations such as quantum computing and quantum sensing, as well as standard schemes such as terminology and technical classifications that serve as the foundation of quantum technology. The next day, an international seminar will be held to share with domestic and foreign participants the current status and standard strategies of quantum technology development in major countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, France, and South Korea.

Wu Guanghai, Director of the Bureau of Standards and Policy, said, "South Korea has officially established the International Committee for the Development of Quantum Technology Standards, which reflects the elevated status of China's quantum technology development and standardization efforts. It will strengthen international cooperation and civil government cooperation with major quantum technology leading countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom, and actively support China's leading international standardization in quantum sensing, quantum communication, and other fields."
