$290 million investment in quantum technology, Taiwan wants to "create another semiconductor miracle"

At present, the major countries and regions in the world are investing a lot of resources in the research and development of quantum technology. In response to the challenges ahead, Su Zhenchang, the chief executive of the Taiwan region of China, announced in December 2nd that the total amount of the "national team", which was planned by the Ministry of science and technology, the Academia Sinica and the Ministry of economic affairs, was estimated to total NT $8 billion (US $290 million) in 5 years. Looking forward to creating the next semiconductor miracle.

Su Zhenchang, executive director of the "Executive Council", heard the report of the "new era quantum layout" of the Ministry of science and technology 2 days ago. After that, China Taiwan will invest 8 billion yuan in NT $5 in the next 5 years.

After the meeting, Luo Bingcheng, spokesman of the "Executive Yuan", said: "The Ministry of science and technology, the Ministry of economy and Academia Sinica will jointly organize a quantum 'national team', which will invest 8 billion yuan in the next five years to guide the industry, University and research community to join the R & D of quantum technology and build a platform for industrial cooperation. It is also necessary to set up a quantum scientific research base of Academia Sinica in Tainan Sharon Science Park, integrate relevant software and hardware and cultivate talents, so that Taiwan can face the coming challenges In the face of the competition in the new quantum era, we can continue to play a key role in the application of quantum core technology and quantum technology, so that quantum computers can create the next semiconductor miracle for Taiwan. "

"Ministry of science and technology" It is pointed out that from this year, cross departmental forces will be integrated to start the development of key technologies in Taiwan's quantum new era. In terms of hardware technology of quantum computer and quantum communication, the core technologies will include quantum materials, quantum bits, low-temperature electronic circuit systems, quantum light sources and detectors, and quantum communication chips. In terms of software technology, a joint R & D platform will be established to Develop quantum algorithms, quantum programming, quantum cryptography and quantum communication protocols.

The Ministry of science and technology also said that in terms of industrial chain, the Ministry of science and technology will also cooperate with the Ministry of economy to develop key components and modules of quantum technology in combination with industrial strengths. At the same time, it will also set up a platform to promote industry university exchanges.
