[Reporter Liao Jianing/Taipei Report] The new battlefield after AI (artificial intelligence) is "quantum computer". The Ministry of Economic Affairs pointed out today (18th) that as early as 2021, the Ministry of Economic Affairs has joined forces with the National Science Council and the Academia Sinica to form a "Quantum National Team" and invest 8 billion resources in five years to seize strategic strongholds; taking stock of Taiwan With irreplaceable advantages, ITRI has successfully developed a "low-temperature control module" to significantly reduce noise, and through manufacturing packaging, system assembly, and software and hardware integration, Taiwan has moved towards becoming a global quantum key manufacturing base. In addition, ITRI also announced a 20-bit superconducting quantum computer at the beginning of this year, officially reaching the starting point.
The Ministry of Economic Affairs issued a statement through the social platform today stating that Taiwan has a "Quantum National Team" that is dedicated to breaking through traditional computing bottlenecks and specializing in solving extreme problems that traditional computers "cannot calculate". Traditional computers are like running through a maze and can only try one path at a time, but quantum computers can instantly transform into millions of clones and walk all the paths at the same time. Take biomedical medicine as an example, top AI still needs 40 hours of hard calculations, but quantum technology can accurately generate 3,000 high-quality molecular structures in just 30 minutes.
Talking about Taiwan's irreplaceable advantages, the Ministry of Economic Affairs pointed out that with its advantages in precision semiconductor manufacturing and packaging and testing, ITRI has successfully developed a "low-temperature control module" that directly puts signal control into an extremely low-temperature environment to significantly reduce noise. Through manufacturing packaging, system assembly, and software and hardware integration, Taiwan is moving towards a global quantum key manufacturing base. Academia Sinica also announced a 20-bit superconducting quantum computer in early 2026, officially reaching the starting point.
The Ministry of Economic Affairs pointed out that as early as 2021, the Ministry of Economic Affairs had joined forces with the National Science Council and the Academia Sinica to form a "Quantum National Team" and invested 8 billion resources in five years to seize strategic strongholds. In order to help companies enter the market, a dedicated organization "Quantum Industry Technology Promotion Office" was established to integrate industry, government and academia to connect key supply chains.
Looking into the future, the Ministry of Economic Affairs stated that quantum computers will cooperate with traditional computers, allowing traditional computers to be responsible for logic. When encountering extreme problems, they will be handed over to quantum computers to solve and combine to form the most powerful computing architecture.
