[Taipei, Taiwan – February 21, 2025] — Hon Hai Technology Group (TWSE: 2317), the world’s largest technology manufacturer and service provider, has announced a major research milestone from its Hon Hai Research Institute. The Quantum Computing Research Center’s latest breakthrough in fault-tolerant quantum computing has been accepted for presentation at the 28th Annual Quantum Information Processing Conference (QIP 2025)—the premier global conference in the field. This marks the fourth consecutive year that Hon Hai Research Institute has been accepted by QIP, highlighting its continued excellence in quantum research.

The accepted work, led by Dr. Min-Hsiu Hsieh, Director of the Quantum Computing Research Center, in collaboration with Research Associate Adam Wills and researchers from the University of Tokyo, presents a significant breakthrough in fault-tolerant quantum computation. For the first time, the study demonstrates that the overhead cost for fault tolerance can remain constant regardless of system scale, overturning prior assumptions. This finding represents a major step toward large-scale quantum computation and will be presented in a long plenary talk at QIP 2025 in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA.

In a parallel achievement, PhD intern Ting-Chun Lin, in collaboration with the University of California, Berkeley, extended this result by applying efficient quantum low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes to further enhance the feasibility and practicality of fault-tolerant quantum computing. This outstanding contribution earned both Ting-Chun Lin and Adam Wills the QIP 2025 Best Student Paper Award—a prestigious recognition in the quantum computing community.

This technical breakthrough underscores Taiwan’s growing influence in quantum technologies and affirms Hon Hai’s deep and sustained investment in frontier quantum research. The Hon Hai Research Institute remains committed to pushing the boundaries of quantum computing and contributing to global innovation and industrial advancement.
