India gives itself a mission to develop a 1000-qubit quantum computer in just eight years
Xi Jinping tells China to get busy quickening quantum everything to build 'new advantages for development'
India’s tech initiatives nearly always have exports of tech and services as one goal. National security is also never far from the Indian government’s thoughts. That matters in the field of quantum computing because other nations are prioritizing the tech because, like China, theyto obliterate classical encryption and therefore expose their rivals’ and enemies’ secrets.
India’s government knows it needs to develop sovereign capacity to ensure it’s not left in a position of weakness. The Mission will also benefit industry, as it includes plans to develop “magnetometers with high sensitivity in atomic systems and Atomic Clocks for precision timing, communications and navigation. It will also support design and synthesis of quantum materials such as superconductors, novel semiconductor structures and topological materials for fabrication of quantum devices.”
Also on the agenda are single photon sources/detectors, entangled photon sources for quantum communications, sensing and metrological applications. ®
