A team at the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) has found a way to use a microwave integrated circuit (IC) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co’s (TSMC) 28-nanometer technology to develop a low-temperature-control IC module, which can potentially reduce the size of a quantum computer by 40 percent, the institute said on Wednesday.

The National Science and Technology Council announced some of the progress it has made with Academia Sinica and the Ministry of Economic Affairs since 2021 in jointly developing quantum technologies.

The more quantum bits (qubits) a quantum computer possesses, the more information it can carry and the better it can work.
