President Tsai Ing-wen visited a quantum computer project funded by the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) and Academia Sinica, witnessing the creation of Taiwan’s first self-developed, five-qubit superconducting complete system quantum computer. The president praised Academia Sinica for developing the five-qubit quantum computer in just two years and expressed her hopes for the quantum team to maintain Taiwan’s important position in the field. Academia Sinica’s president, James C. Liao, announced that the institution will continue investing in the quantum base, transitioning from basic experimental development to practical application through vertical integration. Academia Sinica has accumulated significant research and development capabilities in quantum technology, including achievements in quantum computer chip design, production, and state control and reading techniques for quantum bits. In 2023, Academia Sinica successfully developed Taiwan’s first five-qubit quantum chip and made the quantum computer system available on the cloud for partner testing, placing Taiwan among the countries with self-made superconducting quantum computers. This accomplishment has had a significant impact on domestic quantum technology research, serving as a demonstration and inspiration for further advancements.

The Taiwan Popular Science Train, now in its eighth year, has embarked on a journey across the island nation, bringing the excitement of scientific discovery to students. Premier Chen Chien-jen praised Taiwan’s digital economic growth and technological advancements, urging students to pursue careers in science. Minister Without Portfolio Wu Tsung-tsong and Digital Minister Audrey Tang also attended the kickoff ceremony. The train will visit both urban and remote areas, with stops including Taipei, Pingtung County, Hualien, Taitung, and Keelung. Approximately 240 elementary students are expected to participate in the event, which will feature over 330 experiments in fields such as zero carbon emissions, cyber security, artificial intelligence, and quantum and basic sciences.
