Centre approved the National Quantum Mission at a cost to Rs 6,003.65 crore from 2023-24 to 2030-31.

The government today approved the National Quantum Mission to nurture and scale up scientific and industrial research and development in quantum technology.

The mission involves a cost to Rs 6,003.65 crore from 2023-24 to 2030-31.

The National Quantum Mission (NQM), approved at a meeting of the Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, will accelerate quantum technology-led economic growth and nurture the ecosystem in the country.

"NQM is going to give India a quantum jump in this arena," Science and Technology Minister Jitendra Singh told reporters here.

India will be the sixth country to have a dedicated quantum mission after the US, Austria, Finland, France and China.

"The new mission targets developing intermediate scale quantum computers with 50-1000 physical qubits in eight years in various platforms like superconducting and photonic technology," he said.

He said satellite-based secure quantum communications between ground stations over a range of 2000 km within India, long distance secure quantum communications with other countries, inter-city quantum key distribution over 2000 km as well as multi-node quantum network with quantum memories are also some of the deliverables of the mission.

Mr Singh said the mission will help 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, Mr Singh said.

He said single photon sources/detectors, entangled photon sources will also be developed for quantum communications, sensing and metrological applications.

Mr Singh said four thematic hubs (T-Hubs) will be set up in top academic and national research and development institutes on the domains - quantum computing, quantum communication, quantum sensing and metrology, and quantum materials and devices.

"The hubs which will focus on generation of new knowledge through basic and applied research as well as promote R&D in areas that are mandated to them," the minister said.

Mr Singh said the mission can take the technology development ecosystem in the country to a globally competitive level.

The mission would greatly benefit communication, health, financial and energy sectors as well as drug design, and space applications.

It will provide a huge boost to National priorities like Digital India, Make in India, Skill India and Stand-up India, Start-up India, Self-reliant India and Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), Mr Singh said.

India Approves National Quantum Mission. It Will Cost Rs 6,000 Crore - NDTV

Scientists from the Leibniz University Hannover in Germany, the University of Twente in the Netherlands, and a start-up company QuiX Quantum have demonstrated a fully integrated quantum light source on a chip smaller than a one-euro coin.

The study published in Nature Photonics on April 17, 2023, could be a game-changer for enabling quantum technologies such as quantum computers and unhackable secure communication channels.

Quantum light sources produce photons (light particles) that can be used as quantum bits or qubits. Integrated or on-chip photonics are becoming popular for processing optical quantum states as they are robust, compact, and scalable, making them ideal for various quantum applications.

However, one of the significant challenges with quantum sources is that they are bulky laser systems. Additionally, they are external sources and off-chip, which makes the qubits susceptible to noise, thereby limiting the usability of quantum sources even more.

To overcome these problems, scientists used hybrid technology. They did this to combine the indium phosphide laser, a laser cavity, and a filter, all on a single chip. This technology not only overcomes the earlier-mentioned challenges but also allows the development of quantum systems on a chip at room temperature and lowers the production cost for various quantum computing applications.

Large fault-tolerant quantum computers provide a substantial threat to existing public-key cryptography, rendering sensitive data and systems vulnerable to attacks. Moving to new encryption methods, however, may take a decade or longer to complete. In response, SandboxAQ just unveiled itsSandboxAQ Security Suite, an end-to-end cryptographic-agility platform providing cryptographic vulnerability scanning and remediation. SandboxAQ claims that its Security Suite is the industrys first complete solution for cryptographic inventory that includes analysis and inventory of filesystems, applications, and networks.

The SandboxAQ Security Suite architecture is based on three modules that enable discovery, management and remediation.

Enterprises and government agencies already making use of one or more modules of the SandboxAQ Security Suite include global banks, Cloudera, Informatica, the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. Strategic alliances are also in place with Deloitte and EY to help enterprise customers identify and remediate encryption vulnerabilities. Small organizations also able to benefit from the suite by subscribing to a SaaS service and paying only for the modules and usage they need. In comparison, large enterprise customers typically access the solution on-premises or self-hosted in their own cloud.

According to Graham Steel, head of product in SandboxAQs Quantum Security division, Getting started right now is critical. Adversaries are not waiting for quantum computers to launch their attackstheyre already engaged in Store Now Decrypt Later attacks, acquiring sensitive encrypted data now for future decryption, Steel further explained that transitioning to quantum-safe encryption and implementing crypto-agility could take years. Many organizations with complex IT infrastructures are concerned whether this can be completed before large-scale quantum computers are available to carry out decrypt right now attacks. Our Security Suite is designed to accelerate every stage of this process, he added.

The SandboxAQ Security Suites cryptographic agility enables customers to seamlessly swap cryptographic protocols amid ever-changing regulatory requirements and cyber threats. This concept of crypto-agility will become mandatory to protect organizations against classical and quantum-based attacks, while maintaining regulatory compliance.

Additional information about the SandboxAQ Security Suite is available in a press release posted here.
