The Center for Quantum Nanoscience was founded in 2017 as part of efforts for South Korea to expand basic science research. Classified as an Extramural Center of the Institute for Basic Science, it is hosted by Ewha Womans University in Seoul, South Korea. Their research focuses on exploring quantum properties of atoms and molecules on surfaces and interfaces and long-term goals of quantum sensing and quantum computation in those areas.

Their dedicated building started construction in 2018 and officially opened in 2019[1][2] during the IBS Conference on Quantum Nanoscience.[3] In 2020, the Research Cooperation Building received the Excellence Prize of the 2020 Korean Architecture Award.[4][5][6] The center received the highest grade possible in the 5th year performance evaluation.[7][8]
