The agreement was signed at Quantum Korea 2026 between OQD co-founder Greg Dick and SDT CEO Yoon Ji-won. SDT will manufacture vacuum chambers, ion-trapping electrodes, optical systems, and control electronics based on OQD's publicly released designs, and will also help develop user-interface software. SDT has additionally joined the preferred-supplier program for LightFlow, a cloud-based platform for free-space optical system design and fabrication. OQD plans to expand its open-source quantum ecosystem into ASEAN countries and Latin America, while SDT aims to move beyond individual components toward full system integration. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
