The Department of Science & Technology (DST) Mission on Quantum Technology is aimed at ramping up R&D in this emerging field. The Mission promises to grow strategically and economically, in a calibrated manner to ensure that the nation reaches, within a span of ten years, the goal of achieving the technical capacity to build Quantum Computers and Communications Systems comparable with the best in the world, and thus earn a leadership role.

The initial three-year period of this mission lays emphasis on building devices, applications and human resources directed towards this goal. During this phase, the researchers involved are targeting to make quantum processors and logic gates, quantum light sources, single-photon detectors, quantum sensors and imaging devices, quantum memories, improved quantum clocks and also demonstrate quantum key distribution and entanglement of distant qubits...read more on NOPR
