45 new jobs have been announced at Tyndall National Institute in the City
The jobs were announced by the Higher Education Minister Simon Harris at the launch of the institute's Quantum Computer Engineering Centre.
Tyndall say the multi-million-euro investment in enhanced computing power will help to address major issues such as food security, energy and climate change as well as medical research, manufacturing and weather forecasting.
Minister Simon Harris says the first dedicated quantum computer engineering centre will put Cork at the forefront of research:
"It will upscale Irish researchers in quantum, support open innovation between academia and industry, create high quality sustainable ICT jobs and secure Ireland's future as a worldwide technology leader, while supporting key Irish technology companies and small and Medium Enterprises."
