WILL ‘COLOUR MOLECULES’ MAKE QUANTUM COMPUTERS ACCESSIBLE?

Why in the news?

  • Quantum computers, relying on qubits, often operate at very low temperatures, making them costly and commercially unfeasible.
  • A collection of qubits faces challenges in ensuring identical composition, controllability, and durability at room temperature.

About Room-Temperature Qubit Achievement:

  • Japanese researchers achieved qubits at room temperature using a zirconium-based metal-organic framework (MOF) and chromophore molecules.
  • Chromophores, known as “color molecules,” display singlet fission, producing durable triplet states, marking a significant breakthrough
About Quantum Computing:

●   Rapidly emerging technology using quantum mechanics to solve complex problems.

●   Quantum computers use qubits instead of classical bits.

●   Qubits exist in a superposition of one and zero until measured.

National Mission on Quantum Technologies:

●   INR 8000 Crore allocated in 2021 budget.

●   Aims to advance quantum computing, cryptography, communications, and material science.

Quantum Communication Lab by C-DOT:

●   C-DOT launches the lab in October 2021.

●   Supports over 100 km of standard optical fiber.

Research Collaborations:

●   DIAT and C-DAC collaborate for quantum computer development.

●   Aim to foster advancements in quantum technology.
