Academia Sinica Adopts NVIDIA Ising to Advance AI-Driven Calibration Technology for Quantum Processors

Quantum Processing Units (QPUs) are the core of superconducting quantum computers. Academia Sinica is actively advancing scalable and reliable fabrication technologies for superconducting QPUs. A key step toward this goal is the implementation of high-throughput, iterative testing on large-scale QPUs. To overcome the limitations of traditional calibration methods, Academia Sinica has recently collaborated with NVIDIA to leverage the NVIDIA Ising family of AI models, developing AI-driven automated calibration technologies. This approach significantly improves testing efficiency and system scalability, laying the foundation for large-scale quantum chip development.

Academia Sinica Hosts First International Net-Zero Technology Business Plan Competition: Stanford Students Propose Innovative Solutions

Achieving net-zero emissions is a key priority and widely anticipated by Taiwanese society. How to accelerate the broad application of scientific research to society and enhance human well-being has become an important challenge in the next phase of net-zero research. Academia Sinica, in collaboration with the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability, has for the first time organized the “2026 Net-Zero Technology Business Plan Competition.” Stanford students developed commercialization proposals based on Academia Sinica’s net-zero technologies, using Taiwan’s energy transition as the context. The final round was held today (March 27) at Academia Sinica. All teams performed exceptionally well and were closely matched. Ultimately, CorePower and Century EGS were jointly awarded first place.
