Lab tour

This year, the AI Summer Camp has carefully arranged laboratory visits from 9am to 12pm each morning, covering multiple cutting-edge fields, allowing students to gain in-depth understanding of diverse topics such as artificial intelligence, brain science, quantum technology, sensing systems, and applied physics.

  • I-LABS MEG Brain Imaging Center is the world’s first brain imaging center dedicated to children. Utilizing advanced MEG technology, it explores the neural mechanisms underlying complex human abilities such as language, social interaction, and emotion from a holistic brain systems perspective.

  • Quantum Materials Laboratory focuses on researching exotic quantum states in strongly correlated electron systems, such as high-temperature superconductivity and quantum spin liquids.

  • Ion Trap Quantum Computing Laboratory is dedicated to the experimental realization of ion-based quantum computing, communication, and simulation.

  • Sensing Systems Laboratory is committed to inventing new technologies in robotics, wireless power transfer, and medical devices.

  • NOMR Augmented Reality Application enables students to collaboratively explore interactions of fictional particles, collect data, and build models, fostering authentic scientific understanding and helping to avoid confirmation bias.

  • Applied Physics Laboratory advances oceanography research through innovative instruments and autonomous vehicles, deepening our understanding of ocean circulation, mixing, and variability, and supporting scientific discovery and practical applications.


These visits not only broaden students’ horizons but also lay a solid foundation for their future learning and development in AI and scientific fields.


Lab Name Image Description
The I-LABS MEG Brain Imaging Center The I-LABS MEG Brain Imaging Center was established in May 2010 and is the world’s first brain imaging center focused on children. It uses advanced MEG (magnetoencephalography) technology to study brain activity, especially in infants and young children, enabling research on language acquisition, social understanding, and other complex brain functions by visualizing real-time neural activity.
Quantum Materials Lab This lab is dedicated to exploring the properties of quantum materials. It investigates the physical characteristics of materials at the quantum level, such as superconductors and other novel materials, and develops new materials with unique properties by stacking atomically thin layers together.
Ion Trap Quantum Computing The lab focuses on ion-trap quantum computing, using trapped ions as qubits for quantum computation. It conducts research on quantum algorithms and the use of trapped ions for high-fidelity quantum operations, with applications in advanced computation and simulation of quantum systems.
Sensor Systems Laboratory This lab is committed to the innovation of sensor technology, developing and testing sensors for use in fields such as healthcare, robotics, and environmental monitoring. It provides facilities for characterizing, measuring, and prototyping sensors for real-world applications.
NOMR (Novel Observations in Mixed Reality) NOMR enables the exploration of new physical phenomena within a virtual laboratory environment. It leverages virtual reality to simulate physical systems that may not exist in our universe, allowing users to investigate the underlying laws of these systems and gain experience in physics simulations and VR application development.
APL The mission of the "Applied Physics Laboratory" in the field of oceanography is to advance research and technological development—including the creation of innovative instruments and autonomous vehicles—to promote understanding of ocean circulation, mixing, and variability. This supports scientific discovery and improves the effectiveness of ocean monitoring systems, climate research, and regional ocean observation to meet practical needs.
