The Institute of Astronomy and Space Quantum Communications (IAS) is an institution in Vietnam operating at the intersection of space science and quantum technology. With the mission of "Connecting Space – Mastering Quantum," IAS focuses on three strategic pillars: advanced astrophysical research, the development of secure quantum communication infrastructure, and the commercialization of high-tech devices for the digital economy. Led by a prestigious team of international experts and operating under the legal patronage of the province, IAS is committed to building a sustainable intellectual ecosystem in the Central and Central Highlands regions. Beyond seeking new cosmic discoveries at the New Mountain Observatory, we strive to position Vietnam as a vital link in the global quantum technology value chain, elevating the nation’s scientific standing on the international stage.
