Abstract: Quantum computing is an entirely new paradigm of computation that promises to solve some of the most difficult problems that are currently intractable on classical supercomputers. Quantum computing has made a big splash across the news in the last few years — from Google’s 53-qubit quantum computer “Sycamore” achieving what has been coined quantum supremacy to multibillion-dollar initiatives around the world to develop quantum technologies for computing and beyond. In this talk, I will first discuss the recent development and trend on quantum computing, especially on the progress of using different physical systems to build a quantum computer. I will then focus on semiconductor silicon-based quantum computing, starting from the basic science through to its prospects and challenges for large-scale realization based on CMOS manufacturing.  After that, I will discuss the effort in quantum computing at the National Taiwan University. If time allows, I will also briefly talk about the possible near-term applications of quantum computing.
