The University Grants Commission (UGC)<\/a> released a notice urging Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) to create awareness about National Quantum Mission (NQM) among the faculty, researchers and students to acquire benefit from this mission. The National Quantum Mission which is under the Ministry of Science and Technology, aims to nurture and scale up scientific and industrial R&D as well as create a vibrant and innovative ecosystem in Quantum Technology (QT).<\/p>\n

Weeks ago, the Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi had approved the NQM at a total cost of Rs 6,003.65 for the period 2023-24 to 2030-31. This initiative is anticipated to speed up the quantum technology-led economic growth, strengthen the national ecosystem and position India as a global leader in the creation of Quantum Technologies and Applications (QTA).<\/p>\n

The new mission aims to build intermediate size quantum computers with 50-1,000 physical qubits over a period of 8 years on a variety of platforms, such as superconducting and photonic technology.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cSatellite based secure quantum communications between ground stations over a range of 2000 kilometres within India, long distance secure quantum communications with other countries, inter-city quantum key distribution over 2000 kilometres as well as multi-node quantum network with quantum memories are also some of the deliverables of the mission,\u201d the UGC\u2019s official notice read.<\/p>\n

In the circular, UGC Secretary Manish R Joshi mentioned that the National Quantum Mission will aid in the development of very sensitive atomic magnetometers and atomic clocks for precise timings, communications and navigation. It will also assist in the design and production of new semiconductor structures, topological materials and superconductors \u2013 all of which are essential for creating quantum devices.<\/p>\n

Four Thematic Hubs (T-Hubs) will be established in renowned academic and National R&D institutes on the areas of Quantum Communication, Quantum Computing, Quantum Sensing & Metrology and Quantum Materials & Devices. The hubs will focus on the development of new knowledge via basic and applied research, as well as the promotion of R&D in areas assigned to them.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The UGC Secretary further stated that NQM has the potential to elevate the country\u2019s technological development eco-system to a globally competitive level. He asserted that this mission would have a significant impact on the communication, financial, health, energy sector as well as drug design.<\/p>\n

The National Quantum Mission would also offer a significant boost to national initiatives such as Make in India, Digital India, Start-up India, Self-reliant India and Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), Joshi added.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
