The 25th Asian Conference on Quantum Information Science (AQIS 2025) has successfully concluded in Hong Kong, marking another milestone for one of the world's premier conferences in the field. The event brought together leading researchers to share groundbreaking discoveries in quantum computing, communication, and cryptography. The Hon Hai Research Institute is proud to have made significant contributions across all levels of the conference, from organizational leadership to high-profile scientific presentations and award-winning student research.

The conference kicked off with an opening plenary talk by Prof. Debbie Leung from the University of Waterloo, who presented the collaborative work "Streaming quantum state purification for general mixed states." We are thrilled that this research, conducted with Hon Hai's senior scientist Dr. Hakop Pashayan and other collaborators, was featured so prominently. The Institute's leadership was also on full display, with Dr. Min-Hsiu Hsieh, Director of the Quantum Computing Research Center, serving as a key member of the AQIS 2025 Steering Committee. Dr. Hsieh's long-standing contributions to the conference's Program Committee have been vital to maintaining its high standards of scientific excellence.

Highlighting the strength of our emerging talent, Hon Hai's intern, Mr. Kosuke Matsui, was awarded the Best Student Poster: Third Prize for his work, "Characterizing Conditions for Reducing Qubit Requirements in Quantum Instruments via Weak Signaling." This outstanding achievement was the result of a collaboration with Hon Hai's A. Prof. Jun-Yi Wu and Dr. Min-Hsiu Hsieh, alongside researchers from the University of Tokyo. These successes, from the plenary stage to the award podium, underscore Hon Hai's deep commitment to fostering innovation and advancing the frontiers of quantum information science.

For those interested in the technical details, the plenary work, co-authored by Prof. Debbie Leung, A. Prof. Daniel Grier, Dr. Zhi Li, A. Prof. Luke Schaeffer, and Dr. Hakop Pashayan, is available on the arXiv preprint server at https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.22644. The award-winning poster by Kosuke Matsui was based on joint work with A/Prof. Hayata Yamasaki, Prof. Mio Murao, A. Prof. Jun-Yi Wu, and Dr. Min-Hsiu Hsieh. We congratulate all the authors on their exceptional contributions.
