About us
Singapore’s National Quantum Computing Hub (NQCH) is building capabilities, community, and collaborations to enter the next era of computing.
The Hub is a joint initiative of Singapore’s Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT), the Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) and the National Supercomputing Centre (NSCC) Singapore. It is supported under the National Quantum Strategy led from Singapore’s National Quantum Office.

Institute of High Performance Computing, Co-Principal Investigator
Su Yi is the Executive Director of the Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC), A*STAR. He leads the research institute to advance scientific knowledge and deliver impact to the industry and society through research in modelling and simulation, and Artificial Intelligence. Prior to his current role, Dr Su served as the Deputy Executive Director and the Director of Strategic Planning & Development at IHPC. He was responsible for driving organisational excellence in terms of people, structure and processes. Under his leadership, Dr Su overhauled the research planning and roadmapping processes and oversaw its implementation across all research departments at IHPC. In addition, he was instrumental in driving digitalisation where he established strong data foundation, instilled digital stewardship and setup business intelligence framework/tools to transform IHPC towards a digital-first organisation.
Quantum computing is coming. The question is not about ‘when’, but about ‘who’ will be ready to use this technology. The approach taken in Singapore is to combine the expertise from our researchers with the needed support to achieve such a mission.
