Welcome to the official LinkedIn page for the National Quantum Mission (NQM) – an ambitious initiative approved by the Union Cabinet of India under the leadership of Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. The NQM aims to revolutionize the field of Quantum Technology (QT) and establish India as a global leader in Quantum Technologies & Applications (QTA). With a total investment of Rs.6003.65 crore from 2023-24 to 2030-31, the NQM is designed to seed, nurture, and scale up scientific and industrial R&D in QT. The mission seeks to create a vibrant and innovative ecosystem that accelerates economic growth driven by QT, while also addressing national priorities such as Digital India, Make in India, Skill India, and Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Key objectives of the National Quantum Mission include: 1. Development of intermediate-scale quantum computers with 50-1000 physical qubits in various platforms like superconducting and photonic technology. 2. Establishment of satellite-based secure quantum communications within India and with other countries. 3. Deployment of long-distance secure quantum communications, inter-city quantum key distribution, and multi-node Quantum networks. 4. Advancement of magnetometers with high sensitivity in atomic systems and Atomic Clocks for precision timing, communications, and navigation. 5. Support for the design and synthesis of quantum materials such as superconductors, semiconductor structures, and topological materials for quantum devices. 6. Development of single photon sources/detectors and entangled photon sources for quantum communications, sensing, and metrology.

It was a pleasure to address a full hall of quantum enthusiasts, all eager to participate in India’s historic National Quantum Mission (NQM), during a brainstorming session on the call for pre-proposals for setting up Thematic Hubs (T-Hubs) under the mission. Prof. Ajay K. Sood, Principal Scientific Adviser to GoI, Dr. Akhilesh Gupta, Senior Advisor and other India DST officials were also present. The Government is making significant investments in this mission, and we look forward to seeding research activities in this area, which will not only have a national impact but also a global one. The mission was initiated so that our country's researchers can take a leadership role in this area. It was great to interact with over 400 in-person and additional online participants at the brainstorming session. This event brought together the brightest minds from institutions across the country, fostering a spirit of synergy and forming collaborative partnerships. These will be crucial for submitting the proposals we are eagerly anticipating. MINISTRY OF EDUCATION, GOVERNMENT OF INDIA #india #quantum
