Academia Sinica Unveils 20-Qubit Superconducting Quantum Computer: Manufacturing Capabilities Reach Global Top-Tier

Following the announcement in 2023 of Taiwan’s first domestically designed and built 5-qubit superconducting quantum computer, Academia Sinica has reached another major R&D milestone, announcing today the successful development of a 20-qubit superconducting quantum computer. President James C. Liao noted last month that the Academia Sinica team completed a new generation 20-qubit superconducting quantum chip, designed and fabricated in-house, and successfully integrated into a full quantum computing system. This achievement positions Taiwan among the global frontrunners and marks the nation’s official entry into the critical domain of large-scale quantum chip fabrication. The system is already open to domestic academic and research institutions for quantum simulation and related studies, and will eventually serve as a test platform for industrial users in hardware-software integration and algorithm development.

2026 Taiwan Economic Forecast: Strong but uneven growth in an uncertain environment

In the second half of 2025, progress in trade negotiations and adjustments to U.S. tariff policies reduced market uncertainty and improved the global economic outlook. Expanding demand for AI and high-performance computing supported strong external demand and investment in Taiwan, benefiting related industries. Real GDP grew by 7.18% year on year in the first three quarters and is projected at 7.41% in 2025, an upward revision of 4.48 percentage points from the July forecast of 2.93%. In 2026, global trade is expected to remain affected by the lagged effects of U.S. tariff policies. Although AI-related industry expansion should continue to support external demand and investment, high base effects from 2025 are expected to moderate growth momentum. Overall, real GDP growth in 2026 is projected at 3.71%, with domestic demand and net foreign demand contributing 2.11% and 1.60%, respectively.

Academia Sinica and CPC Discover High-Potential Geothermal Reservoir after Drilling Nearly 4,000 Meters

Academia Sinica and the CPC Corporation have recently drilled Taiwan’s first deep geothermal exploratory well. The joint project in Yuanshan, Yilan includes comprehensive geological and heat-source analyses. According to the Academia Sinica research team, this experimental well is the first to drill nearly 4,000 meters underground, with a bottom-hole temperature approaching 150 degrees Celsius, confirming the presence of an ascending heat source. The findings indicate that the deep geothermal resources in the northern Yilan Plain possess high development potential and warrant further exploration. Through the concerted efforts of industry, government, academia, and research institutions, deep geothermal energy may soon become a driving force in Taiwan’s green energy transition.
