Physics:National Quantum Mission India

From HandWiki
Short description: Governmental science and technology project

National Quantum Mission India[1] is an initiative by the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, to foster quantum technologies related scientific and industrial research and development to support national Digital India, Make India, Skill India and Sustainable development goals.[2][3][4]

Background

The union cabinet of Government of India approved the National Quantum Mission with a cost of INR 6003.65 cr ($730,297,000) from 2023–24 to 2030–31.[5][6][7] Quantum key distribution (QKD) satellites are being developed by ISRO as part of the National Quantum Mission to provide secure communication.[8]

Selection of Thematic Hubs (T-Hubs) and Technical Groups (TGs)

In January 2024,[9] the National Quantum Mission issued a Call for Proposals (CFP), inviting academic and research institutions to contribute to the development of quantum technologies in the areas of Quantum Computing, Communication, Sensing & Metrology andMaterials & Devices.

The initiative received 384 submissions from across the country.

Four T-Hubs and 14 TGs Announced

On September 30, 2024, the National Quantum Mission announced four T-Hubs.[10][11] After evaluation 17 proposals were selected.
