Taipei, June 30, 2023
The highly anticipated kick-off meeting of the NL-TW consortium in photonic quantum computing took place on June 30 in Taipei, heralding an exciting collaboration between the Netherlands and Taiwan. The consortium, initiated by the Netherlands Office Taipei (NLOT), is financially supported by The Dutch Research Council (NWO) and the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC).
The consortium brings together leading researchers and experts in the field of quantum photonics and quantum computing from both countries, with the aim of advancing the frontiers of photonic quantum computing with integrated photonic technologies.
On the Dutch side, the consortium is spearheaded by Dr. Jelmer Renema from the University of Twente, and co-led by Dr. Michiel de Dood from Leiden University, alongside three industrial partners, Quix, Single Quantum and Delft Circuit.
On the Taiwanese side, the consortium is led by Dr. Jun-Yi Wu from Tamkang University serves as a PI, alongside co-PIs Prof. Rui-Kuang Lee, Prof. Ming-Chang Lee, and Prof. Yen-Hung Chen from National Tsing Hua University and National Central University respectively. The industrial partner is HonHai Research Institute represented by Dr. Min-Hsiu Hsieh, director of the Quantum Computing Center at HonHai Research Institute.
During the kick-off meeting, the researchers shared their recent research progress, outlined their collaborative goals, and planned their subprojects and people exchanges. The consortium members expressed their excitement about the potential breakthroughs that can be achieved through this cross-national partnership in the next four years. The pooling of expertise, resources, and perspectives from the Netherlands and Taiwan is expected to significantly accelerate the development of photonic quantum computing technologies and pave the way for groundbreaking applications. The NL-TW consortium in photonic quantum computing aims to position both countries at the forefront of quantum computing research and innovation, driving progress in this transformative field toward universal photonic quantum computing.
