Hon Hai Research Institute Achieves Quantum Computing Breakthrough at QIP 2025
February 24, 2025 | Hon Hai Technology GroupEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Hon Hai Technology Group, the world’s largest technology manufacturing and service provider, has announced another advancement in its forward-looking technology research and development at the Hon Hai Research Institute. The latest quantum fault-tolerant computing results from the Quantum Computing Institute of Hon Hai Research Institute have been accepted by the world's top quantum computing conference, QIP 2025 (the 28th Annual Quantum Information Processing Conference). This marks the fourth consecutive year that Hon Hai Research Institute has been honored by the prestigious QIP conference.
Ming-Hsiu Hsieh, Director of the Quantum Computing Institute at Hon Hai Research Institute, and Adam Wills, a master's researcher at the institute, teamed up with the University of Tokyo in Japan to achieve a major breakthrough in quantum fault-tolerant computing technology. The research results prove, for the first time, that the resource redundancy required for quantum fault-tolerant computing does not increase with the expansion of the system scale. This discovery is of great significance for the realization of large-scale quantum computing and will have a very positive impact on its development. Hon Hai Research Institute will deliver a keynote speech at the QIP 2025 Annual Conference to be held in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA.
In addition, Lin Dingjun, a doctoral intern at the Quantum Computing Institute of Hon Hai Research Institute, collaborated with the University of California, Berkeley to further promote the aforementioned results, using efficient quantum low-density parity-check codes (Quantum LDPC Codes) to achieve quantum fault-tolerant computing, further improving its feasibility and practicality. This outstanding research result also won the QIP 2025 Best Student Paper Award for two outstanding students involved in the research, Lin Dingjun and Adam Wills.
The technological breakthrough achieved by Hon Hai Research Institute will enable Taiwan to gain key influence in the field of quantum computing, and also proves that Hon Hai's continuous efforts and investment in the field of quantum computing have accumulated considerable technical capabilities. Hon Hai Research Institute will continue to focus on the research of quantum computing and make greater contributions to global technological innovation and industrial progress.

A Necessary Shift From Gerber to IPC-2581
05/07/2026 | Tracy Riggan, Global Electronics AssociationIPC-2581 is an open, vendor-neutral data exchange standard developed by the Global Electronics Association to streamline the exchange of PCB design information across fabrication, assembly, and test. It replaces multiple legacy formats—including industry standards, Gerber, and ODB++—with a single, comprehensive, XML-based dataset that captures all manufacturing details.

Is China Plus One Still Happening in the PCB Industry?
04/28/2026 | Manfred Huschka, Manfred Huschka Management Consulting (Shenzhen) Ltd.For much of the past five years, China Plus One has been shorthand for supply-chain diversification: reducing dependency on mainland China by adding manufacturing capacity elsewhere in Asia. In the PCB industry, however, in early 2026, it is more nuanced. It looks less like a clean geographic shift and more like a layered, capital-intensive rebalancing of global capacity, one that still leaves China deeply embedded at the center.
