[Event Report] Special Lecture by Dr. Chii-Dong Chen from Academia Sinica, Taiwan | 曽我部研究室 SogabeLab 国立大学法人電気通信大学│AI 人工知能 量子

On Wednesday, December 3, 2025, we were honored to host Dr. Chii-Dong Chen of the Quantum Computing Research Center, Academia Sinica (Taiwan), for a special commemorative lecture at UEC.

A large number of faculty members and students attended the talk, titled “Toward an Experimental Superconducting Quantum Computer,” filling the venue and making the event a great success.

Dr. Chen delivered a wide-ranging lecture covering the device physics of superconducting qubits, multi-qubit processor architecture design, approaches toward achieving high-fidelity quantum gates, and the development of Taiwan’s quantum computing research infrastructure. His talk provided valuable insights into the latest advances and global trends in superconducting quantum computing.

Before the lecture, Dr. Chen had a brief discussion with Prof. Shimada (left) and Prof. Sogabe (right), who served as organizers of the event. Their conversation in the preparation room provided a pleasant opportunity to reconnect with Dr. Chen (center).

Following the lecture, a convivial reception was held, during which participants and Dr. Chen engaged in lively discussions on research topics and future collaboration opportunities, deepening mutual connections in an informal atmosphere.

This event served as a highly valuable opportunity for further strengthening the quantum information and quantum device research community at UEC. We would like to express our sincere appreciation to Dr. Chen and to all attendees who contributed to the success of this seminar.
