DoT to establish quantum certification lab, set computing standards: Secy

The Department of Telecom is working to establish a quantum certification lab and set standards for quantum computing, a senior official said on Thursday. While speaking at the Second International Quantum Communication Conclave, Telecom Secretary Neeraj Mittal said that a lot of work is happening in C-DoT on quantum communications, and India has to be cautious in developing the technology with like-minded parties. "We are working with TEC to create standards (for quantum computing). We are also working on setting up a quantum certification lab," Mittal said. He said that the certification lab will test and verify the solutions that claim to be based on quantum technology. "There are countries who have massive resources at hand but do not necessarily believe in democratic values as India. We need to find the right partners and work with them," Mittal said. The Cabinet approved the National Quantum Computing Mission on April 19, 2023, with an outlay of Rs 6,003.65 crore for 8 ...

SSIR and IISc collaborate to drive research on quantum technologies

Samsung Semiconductor India Research has collaborated with the Bengaluru-based Indian Institute of Science to help set up a Quantum Technology Lab. This is an effort towards Samsung Semiconductor India Research's (SSIR) Corporate Social Responsibility commitment and aims to provide research and training support opportunities to dozens of faculty members and hundreds of students pursuing higher education 'both in IISc and in other educational institutions', particularly in the fields of physics, engineering, computer science and mathematics every year, it said in a statement on Thursday. Led by Mayank Shrivastava, Associate Professor in the Department of Electronic Systems Engineering (DESE), the lab aims to be a pioneering facility dedicated to advanced quantum technologies,IR said. "The lab will serve as a centre for technological innovation, manpower training, and collaboration with national and international quantum research institutions," the statement said. "With a focus on ...
