Scientists from the Sinica Academy presented the most accurate quantum computing system at the moment.

The Sinica Academy in Taiwan has achieved a major milestone in computing by successfully developing a 5-bit superconducting quantum computer. This achievement puts Taiwan at the forefront of global research and development in the field of quantum technologies.

In an interview with EE Times, Chee-Dong Chen, head of the research team, emphasized the importance of international cooperation for the development of quantum technologies in Taiwan. Partnerships with leading institutions such as the University of California, Santa Barbara, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison have enabled the exchange of knowledge and resources to foster innovation in this area.

Quantum computers use qubits to perform calculations, which allows them to process information orders of magnitude faster than traditional computers. One of the key achievements of the Taiwanese team was the creation of a qubit logic gate with an accuracy of 99.9%, which is an important step towards developing reliable quantum computing systems.

Despite significant progress, the practical application of quantum computers is still far from being realized in everyday life. However, the development of a 5-bit superconducting quantum computer provides an important foundation for further research and development, allowing researchers and engineers from different fields to work together to explore potential applications of quantum technologies.

The Academy is actively working to attract talent and develop expertise in the field of quantum technologies in Taiwan. The use of a superconducting quantum computer as the main research tool opens up new opportunities for theoretical and practical applications of quantum computing, helping to accelerate the development of skills and spread knowledge in this area.
