About SQAI 2026
The International Summit on Quantum Artificial Intelligence (SQAI) 2026 is a premier gathering focusing on the intersection of quantum computing and artificial intelligence. The SQAI series, founded in 2021, is an academic conference dedicated to quantum AI, bringing together leading researchers, technologists, and visionaries to explore how quantum computation can unlock the next frontier of artificial intelligence.
SQAI 2026 is the 3rd edition of this landmark summit.

ULTRACOMPUTE (UCI) is a Washington, D.C. nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing quantum software research and striving to build the world's first ultracomputer for Artificial Ultraintelligence (AUI). Note: ULTRACOMPUTE is officially registered as Quantum Intelligence Society and is currently in the process of a name change. UCI's founder, Austin Hua, founded SQAI in 2021 as the world's first academic conference dedicated to quantum AI. (UCI is deeply optimistic about the long-term future of quantum computing — views that may not reflect those of all speakers, sponsors, or collaborators involved with this conference.)
ICUnit (ICU) is a sister company of ULTRACOMPUTE with two interconnected missions: establishing the qubit as the standard IC (Integrated Circuit) measurement unit to universalize quantum computing, and advancing BCI (Brain-Computer Interface) hardware and software as the "Integrated Cognitive Unit." (ICU is at the very early stages of this journey — many ideas will evolve as research progresses.)
The NTU Quantum Club (臺大量子應用社) is a student organization at National Taiwan University dedicated to promoting quantum science and technology on campus. NTUQC fosters an interdisciplinary, cross-generational platform connecting students with industry leaders, professors, and researchers to advance together into the quantum era.
Note: NTUQC was not registered for semester 114-2, but we plan to complete registration for semester 115-1. If you are interested in joining the next staff team, please contact us!
The IBM Quantum Hub at National Taiwan University (NTU IBM Q) is a research partnership between NTU and IBM, established in 2019 with support from Taiwan's National Science and Technology Council. The hub provides access to cutting-edge IBM quantum systems, hosts the annual Qiskit Hackathon Taiwan, and conducts research spanning quantum software, algorithms, and applications. It serves as Taiwan's primary bridge between academic quantum research and industrial transformation in the ICT sector.
The Center for Quantum Science and Engineering (CQSE) at National Taiwan University is an interdisciplinary research hub bridging quantum physics and engineering. CQSE unites faculty and researchers across departments to advance quantum computing hardware, quantum communication, and quantum sensing technologies. Through close collaboration with industry and international partners, CQSE plays a central role in driving Taiwan's quantum technology ecosystem forward.
The National Center for Theoretical Sciences (NCTS), Physics Division, hosted at National Taiwan University, is Taiwan's leading center for theoretical physics research. NCTS supports cutting-edge work across quantum information, high-energy physics, and condensed matter physics, and cultivates collaboration between researchers in Taiwan and the international scientific community.
