SDT (CEO Jiwon Yoon) announced on the 9th that it will participate in InterBattery 2026, a battery industry exhibition held at COEX in Seoul from the 11th to the 13th.
At this exhibition, SDT plans to introduce LIBS (Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy), a real-time elemental analysis device designed to enhance quality control capabilities in the battery manufacturing process, and QuREKA, a recently launched hybrid quantum computing cloud service.
SDT will also showcase real-world industrial applications of LIBS during this exhibition. The company supplied the equipment to a global battery company in October 2025, enabling real-time monitoring and analysis of the composition of microscopic foreign substances that may be introduced during battery production. The accumulated data is used to track abnormalities and identify their causes, contributing to improved quality stability throughout the manufacturing process.
In addition, the recently officially launched Qureka also presents the potential for quantum computing in battery research and development. Qureka is Korea's first hybrid quantum computing service that simultaneously leverages existing classical computing resources (CPUs, GPUs) and quantum processors (QPUs) in a cloud environment.
SDT plans to propose quantum computing-based approaches to problems that are difficult or time-consuming to solve using existing computing environments, such as the development of next-generation battery materials and the simulation of complex chemical reactions. Specifically, it will showcase its potential applications in various research areas, including the simulation of cathode materials and key battery properties, analysis of electrolyte and interfacial reactions, 3D battery simulation, and advanced battery management systems (BMS).
Yoon Ji-won, CEO of SDT, said, “Last year, we supplied LIBS to global battery companies and performed quality control roles at manufacturing sites. This year, the Cureka we are introducing will be a tool to solve technical challenges in the battery research and development process.” He added, “Going forward, we plan to support technological innovation across the secondary battery industry based on our advanced measurement technology and quantum computing capabilities.”
