National Quantum Mission

News: The Union Cabinet recently approved the ₹6,003 crore National Quantum Mission (NQM).

National Quantum Mission (NQM) will fund research and development of quantum computing technology and associated applications.

The mission will have defined milestones that are expected to be achieved over the course of eight years (2023-24 to 2030-31).

India is the sixth country to have a dedicated quantum mission after the US, Austria, Finland, France and China.

Four thematic hubs, or T-Hubs, with a focus on quantum computing, communication, sensing and metrology, and materials and devices will be established in India’s leading academic and national R&D institutes.

In the next eight years, the goal is to build intermediate-scale quantum computers with 50–1000 qubits.

Establish a 2000 km-range of satellite-based, secure quantum communications between ground stations in India and with other nations.

Over a distance of 2000 kilometres, it will try to enable inter-city quantum key distribution.

quantum network with many nodes and quantum memories.

With extremely sensitive magnetometers and accurate atomic clocks for communication, navigation, and timing, you can progress atomic technology.

assist in the creation of topological materials, superconductors, new semiconductor architectures, and other quantum materials for the construction of quantum devices.

Using quantum computing

It is a branch of computer science that is devoted to the creation of innovations guided by the ideas of quantum theory.

It employs quantum physics’ distinctive behaviour to find solutions to issues that are too complex for classical computation.
