Ted C. Y. Chang

I'm thrilled that Charlie Bennett and Gilles Brassard have received the A. M. Turing Award for “their essential role in establishing the foundations of quantum information science and transforming secure communication and computing.” Congratulations! quantamagazine.org/quantum-crypto…

• be Morris Chang • survive WWII in China, escape to America in 1949 • go to MIT, fail the PhD qualifying exam twice • decide academia is a trap, join Texas Instruments • spend 25 years climbing the ranks, building their entire semiconductor division into a global powerhouse • get passed over for the CEO job because of corporate politics • 1985: you are 54 years old. Most executives are buying golf clubs and preparing to retire. • the Taiwanese government begs you to move to a tiny island and build their tech sector from scratch • you look at the global chip industry and see a massive, glaring inefficiency • the industry rule at the time: "Real men have fabs" (if you want to design chips, you have to spend billions to build the factory to make them) • Chang realizes: "What if a factory just prints everyone else's designs, and promises never to compete with them?" • 1987: founds TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) at age 56 • invents the "pure-play foundry" model • traditional hardware giants like Intel and IBM laugh at him for just doing the "dirty work" • suddenly, a guy named Jensen Huang (NVIDIA) and companies like Apple realize they can design world-class chips without spending $10 Billion on a factory • TSMC single-handedly births the entire "fabless" technology industry • scales the physics down to the atomic level, printing circuits smaller than a biological virus • becomes an absolute, unbreakable monopoly on advanced human technology • accidentally builds a "Silicon Shield" around Taiwan • the US and China both realize that if Morris Chang's factories go offline for a single week, the entire global economy (smartphones, fighter jets, AI, car manufacturing) instantly collapses • steps down, comes out of retirement at age 78 during the 2008 financial crisis to ruthlessly fire the CEO, doubles R&D spending while everyone else is panicking, and permanently crushes Intel • 94 years old, smokes a pipe, plays competitive bridge, and controls the single most important bottleneck on planet Earth "We do not compete with our customers. We are everybody's foundry."

Taiwan, competing as Chinese Taipei, finishes its World Baseball Classic group stage journey with a 5-4 win against South Korea.

The team wraps up the competition in Tokyo with two wins and two losses. Whether it advances to the next stage in Miami will depend on the results from the last two days of matches.

President Lai Outlines National Strategy for High-Speed Quantum Computing to Bolster Taiwan’s Global Competitiveness in AI Era Credits: TaiwanPlus #TECOBOSTON

Glad to welcome to #Taiwan Dr. John Martinis, 2025 Nobel Laureate in Physics. His work with @AcadSinica & pioneering role in quantum tech—a pillar of our 10 new AI infrastructure initiatives—are hugely inspirational as we boost cooperation with top global research institutions.

Taiwan is betting its chip industry can help it become a major player in quantum computing. President Lai Ching-te says the country can build its own quantum chips and even quantum computers.

During the wonderful events organized by @AcadSinica, Qolab, and @QuantumQM, i had an awesome experience learning and discussing how science could evolve into technology, super- or semi- conducting qubits.

Registration is now open for QEC26, to be held this June in sunny Santa Barbara, CA! see the registration page at qec-conference.org for a link. Also, the deadline for submissions is next Friday. Make sure to get those in and spread the word to friends and collaborators!
