In the past six years since its establishment, CIQTEK has not only achieved a series of internationally influential scientific research results in the fields of precision measurement and computing but also set up a science division specializing in measurement and science education.
The CIQTEK Science Education Base covers an area of over 1,500 square meters, with the measurement and science laboratory, an exhibition hall, and a lecture hall, with more than a thousand exhibits, teaching aids, audio and video, animations, and other forms of atomic force microscopes, laser distance measuring instruments, etc.
Up to now, CIQTEK Science Education Base has held a series of colorful science activities such as the "Precision Measurement Instruments Exhibition", "Infinite Possibilities Technology Science" and "Science Seminar for Primary School Students", and the total number of visitors has reached 15,000.
Science education activities organized by CIQTEK
In order to better promote metrology culture and science education activities, CIQTEK is preparing to build a new 3,000-square-metre science base featuring metrology, which is expected to be put into operation in September 2023. The new base integrates metrology, science education, science, and technology experience, science and innovation education, scientific investigation, scientific experiments, and online-offline linkage, and is an important place for young people and the public to receive metrology culture, metrology science popularization and science and innovation education practice.

With the design concept and the innovative form of science popularisation combining experience and immersion as the distinctive features, the base will strive to become a first-class and distinctive modern metrology science museum in the future.
CIQTEK Diamond Quantum Computer for Education is a teaching instrument based on the diamond's spin magnetic resonance of the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center. By controlling basic physical quantities such as optics, electricity, and magnetism, it implements quantum manipulation and readout of NV center spins, which enables the demonstration of basic concepts of quantum computing, such as qubits, quantum gates, and quantum algorithms. The instrument works at room temperature (no need for a cryogenic environment), making the operating cost almost zero. The desktop design makes it easy to adapt to classrooms, laboratories, and other settings for conducting quantum mechanics and quantum computing experimental courses.
