Research Direction

The center integrates researchers who are mainly engaged in quantum technology in Taiwan. Under the cold atom/photon platform and topological/superconducting platform framework, researchers participate in the center's research to achieve the goal of integration. The center started in 2018 and is currently in the second phase (2023-2027) of the plan, supported by the Ministry of Education. Based on the quantum technology developed in the first phase, it complements the national quantum team, focusing on the application of components, academic development and publishing academic papers. In quantum computing technology, it focuses on the development of quantum simulation and quantum simulators. In quantum communication and networking, it focuses on the development of satellite quantum communication and networking, and focuses on the development of the following four themes and the cultivation of quantum technology talents:
Theme 1: Quantum simulation and quantum simulator
Use superconductors, semiconductors and cold atoms as platforms for quantum simulation, and develop quantum simulators that convert problems that quantum computers can handle into optimization problems (theory) and use quantum annealing to handle optimization problems.
Theme 2: Key technologies for satellite quantum communication and quantum networks
Develop key technologies for quantum communication and quantum networks with satellites as relays: quantum memory, conversion of material quantum bits to optical quantum bits, time synchronization and frequency conversion.
Theme 3: Quantum sensing and metrology
Develop quantum metrology and sensing (single photon detectors) and advance to the measurement resolution limit beyond the Heisenberg limit.
Theme 4: Quantum computer architecture improvement and alternative approaches

Improve the properties of current superconducting quantum bits (transmon or xmon) (decoherence time, super-operation time, improvement of material growth interface quality, etc.) and develop other quantum computer architecture platforms, including topological quantum computers based on the zero mode of Majorana Fermions: in particular, develop quantum materials required to realize the zero mode of Majorana Fermions and realize the braiding of Majorana Fermions and ion trap quantum computers or simulators.

The first phase (2018-2022) is jointly supported by the Ministry of Education and NSTC to achieve the goal of integration through the following four thematic sub-projects:
Theme 1: Quantum bit realization, supercontrol and computing
Theme 2: Quantum communication
Theme 3: Quantum metrology and simulation
Theme 4: Quantum materials
