India's National Quantum Mission: A Quantum Leap Towards Technological Advancement The launch of National Quantum Mission in 2023, put India among the top six leading nations involved in the research and development in quantum technologies. The National Quantum Mission worth Rs. 6,003.65 crore is planned during 2023-2031. The mission aims to strengthen India’s research and development in the quantum arena. Key Players & Projects: ·      TIFR, DRDO, and TCS are building India's largest quantum computer, aiming to scale from 6 qubits to 100 qubits. ·      IIT Madras's Centre for Quantum Information, Communication and Computing (CQuICC) focuses on quantum information and cryptography. ·      Partnerships with global entities like the Chicago Quantum Exchange and D-Wave. Significance of the National Quantum Mission ·    Quantum technologies like quantum computing, AI, IoT, ML can boost India's economy by contributing $280-310 billion by 2030. ·      Enhance industries such as aerospace, weather prediction, cybersecurity, advanced manufacturing, health, agriculture, and education. ·      The mission will secure communication and financial transactions. ·      Complements initiatives like Digital India, Make in India, SDG. ·      Develop new materials and devices, streamline resources, minimize duplication, batteries and nuclear fusion reactors ·      Solutions for clean energy and affordable healthcare. ·      Improving simulations in chemistry and physics Challenges ·      India's investment of 6,000 crore ($0.75 billion) is much lower than China's $15 billion and the US’s $3.75 billion. ·      From 2000 to 2018, India published 1,711 quantum-related papers, compared to China’s 12,110 and the US’s 13,489. ·      Only 12% of Indian start-ups are deep tech-related, with less than 3% focusing on quantum technologies. What Should be the way Forward? ·      Identify and promote young talent ·      Well balanced R&D ecosystem ·      Increased Investment Support ·      Promotion of Partnerships and Collaborations between academic institutions, research organizations, and industries https://lnkd.in/dB3BR8hY

From 20 to 100: Russia's Quantum Computing Roadmap - Matt Swayne Russian scientists announced the successful development of a 20-qubit quantum computer, with plans to scale up to 50 to 100 qubits by year-end. Ruslan Yunusov, an advisor to Rosatom's CEO, revealed this advancement to TASS. This surpasses the previously showcased 16-qubit system, signifying Russia's quantum computing progress. The roadmap includes a 25-qubit machine and aims for a 50-qubit model by year-end. Quantum computing promises solutions to complex problems, from drug discovery to logistics optimization. Russia's $790 million investment reflects its ambition to lead in quantum technology, with practical applications already underway in molecular modeling. This development fuels the global race towards harnessing quantum computing's full potential. #QuantumComputing #Russia #Rosatom #RuslanYunusov #Qubits #Technology #Innovation #GlobalRace #MolecularModeling #Research #Development
