Liu said quantum computing is at least two years from commercial viability, an industrywide challenge rather than a Foxconn-specific delay. He described quantum computers as accelerators for certain computations that would complement CPUs and GPUs rather than replace them. Liu cited cost barriers too, noting a cable whose length he indicated could cost more than $1,000 because of temperature requirements. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How far away is quantum computing from being commercially viable according to Foxconn? At least two years, according to Foxconn Chairman Young Liu, who described this as a challenge facing the whole quantum computing industry rather than a delay specific to Foxconn. Liu made the comment while explaining Foxconn's plan to manufacture quantum computers for companies that develop the underlying technology. _Anyone timing a bet on quantum hardware can follow industry signals like this on daily.dev._ ### Will quantum computers replace CPUs and GPUs? No, according to Foxconn Chairman Young Liu, who said quantum computers are not general-purpose machines but accelerators for specific non-polynomial problems that classical computers struggle with. He described them as a new addition to computing devices working alongside CPUs and GPUs, with potentially exponential speed advantages for certain applications as problem size grows. _Developers weighing hybrid compute architectures can track this debate on daily.dev._ ### Why is quantum computing hardware so expensive to manufacture? Temperature requirements drive up costs significantly, according to Foxconn Chairman Young Liu, who gave the example of a cable needed for quantum hardware that could cost more than $1,000 due to those cooling requirements. Foxconn, the world's largest electronics contract manufacturer, is positioning itself to build quantum computers for other companies rather than develop the core technology itself. _Those evaluating quantum hardware costs can follow manufacturing updates like this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Shanghai Startup Unveils Data Center-Ready Quantum Computer at WAIC 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/shanghai-startup-unveils-data-center-ready-quantum-computer-at-waic-2026-ymelscg6d) · The Quantum Insider · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [US Issues Grand Challenge: The First Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computer by 2028](https://daily.dev/posts/us-issues-grand-challenge-the-first-fault-tolerant-quantum-computer-by-2028-zlgkj6ylb) · Singularity Hub · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [PsiQuantum breaks ground on utility-scale quantum computer](https://daily.dev/posts/psiquantum-breaks-ground-on-utility-scale-quantum-computer-2g2l4zxk6) · The Next Web · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [PsiQuantum has a plan to make a massive quantum computer out of light](https://daily.dev/posts/psiquantum-has-a-plan-to-make-a-massive-quantum-computer-out-of-light-z3vvzaly3) · MIT Technology Review · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#quantum-computing](https://daily.dev/tags/quantum-computing) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/foxconn-aims-to-become-world-s-largest-quantum-computer-manufacturer-q0ipyvpzn) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Foxconn Aims to Become World’s Largest Quantum Computer Manufacturer","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/foxconn-aims-to-become-world-s-largest-quantum-computer-manufacturer-q0ipyvpzn","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/foxconn-aims-to-become-world-s-largest-quantum-computer-manufacturer-q0ipyvpzn"},"datePublished":"2026-10-30T13:14:43.050Z","dateModified":"2026-10-30T13:15:10.423Z","description":"Foxconn wants to become the world's largest quantum computer manufacturer by building machines for companies that develop the underlying technology, Chairman...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/ee2ef393e8702d312bab0b1396613c31?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/ee2ef393e8702d312bab0b1396613c31?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"The Quantum Insider","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"The Quantum Insider","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/7b14a6b34c1b464c9e8a88d9a0dac951","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/thequantuminsider"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/foxconn-aims-to-become-world-s-largest-quantum-computer-manufacturer-q0ipyvpzn","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"quantum-computing","timeRequired":"PT4M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"The Quantum Insider","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/thequantuminsider"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Foxconn Aims to Become World’s Largest Quantum Computer Manufacturer"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/foxconn-aims-to-become-world-s-largest-quantum-computer-manufacturer-q0ipyvpzn#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How far away is quantum computing from being commercially viable according to Foxconn?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"At least two years, according to Foxconn Chairman Young Liu, who described this as a challenge facing the whole quantum computing industry rather than a delay specific to Foxconn.
