The talk will be splitted into two parts. In the first part, I will briefly introduce the newly established Hon Hai Research Institute with a special focus on the current research directions in the quantum computing research center. In the second part, I will first give an overview of quantum computing research. Then I will move on to the chance and challenge in the research of quantum machine learning.
