The Hon Hai Quantum Computing Research Center (HHQC) announced its continued sponsorship of the "Qiskit Hackathon Taiwan 2026" and the "NTU-IBM Quantum System 2026 Users Conference," organized by the National Taiwan University–IBM Quantum Hub (NTU-IBM Quantum Hub). This initiative demonstrates HHQC’s ongoing commitment to cultivating local quantum technology talent and nurturing the quantum ecosystem in Taiwan.
🎓 Focusing on Practical Innovation: Researcher Eric Chen Presents Corporate Special Award
During the hackathon and users conference, HHQC established a Corporate Special Award to encourage students and young researchers to explore the innovative potential of quantum algorithms and hardware applications using the open-source Qiskit framework. Eric Chen (陳琦畯), a researcher at HHQC, attended the event in person as award presenter, delivering the Corporate Special Award to the winning team and engaging in technical exchanges on system architecture and application scenarios with the participants.

🤝 Industry-Academia Collaboration: Fostering Next-Generation Quantum Applications
As a premier quantum computing hackathon in Taiwan, Qiskit Hackathon Taiwan provides a hands-on platform for emerging researchers and teams to validate theoretical concepts directly on quantum hardware and simulation platforms. HHQC remains dedicated to foundational theoretical research and practical software frameworks. By continuously sponsoring and actively participating in these collaborative events, HHQC aims to bridge academic talent with industry resources and cutting-edge research opportunities.
Looking ahead, the Hon Hai Quantum Computing Research Center will continue partnering with academic and industrial communities to advance quantum algorithms, quantum error correction, and foundational computing infrastructures, fostering essential talent for next-generation technology ecosystems.
