Quantum computing platform revealed by Academia Sinica
Academia Sinica in Tainan recently debuted Taiwan's first quantum chip fabrication and testing platforms for quantum computing, showcasing significant strides in quantum computer chip fabrication.
The revelations include engineered high-quality superconducting quantum bits (qubits) through the use of 8-inch wafer equipment, the institute said.
At the unveiling ceremony, Academia Sinica President James Liao emphasized the rapid global progress in quantum science. He underscored the need for simultaneous investment in advanced fabrication R&D talent and cutting-edge hardware.
One critical barrier in quantum computing is process stability and optimization, and the lack of reliable, high-caliber fabrication methods, as per Liao. Academia Sinica has allegedly validated at least three production techniques, albeit without specifying them.
These newly-established quantum facilities from Academia Sinica will be open to nationwide academic and research institutions, aiming to foster quantum technology development and draw top talent for critical quantum research.
Chen Chii-dong, executive officer of the Thematic Center for Quantum Computer at Academia Sinica, declared that the new 8-inch wafer fabrication and quantum computing platforms mark a significant milestone in Taiwan's quantum chip R&D efforts.
The Quantum Chip Fabrication Platform is Taiwan's first 8-inch process platform purposed for superconducting quantum chip manufacturing. It boasts a full range of fabrication capabilities and real-time testing equipment, catering to various types of superconducting qubit processes and the development of high-quality superconducting quantum chips and parametric amplifiers.
The Quantum Computing Test Platform offers complete low-temperature measurement systems equipped with high-speed and high-precision instruments, as well as automated controls. Such a setup allows for rapid optimization of quantum logic gate operations while curbing training costs.
Academia Sinica's quantum initiatives represent part of Taiwan's broader push for quantum technology development, capitalizing on collaborations with international allies and domestic industries. The establishment of quantum-centric centers and teams indicates a strategic investment in infrastructure, potentially speeding up quantum research and development.
