Four thematic hubs were established under the National Quantum Mission (NQM).
- Activities in these T-Hubs would include technology development, human resource development, entrepreneurship development & industry collaborations and international collaborations
- The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur had been designated as a management coordinating centre for the hubs.
Key technology verticals of T-Hubs
- Quantum Computing: Quantum computers use special units called qubits to store and process information.
- Unlike regular computers, where bits can only be 0 or 1, qubits can be both 0 and 1 at the same time.
- Led by the Indian Institute of Science (ISc), Bengaluru.
- Quantum communication: It involves encoding information in quantum states, typically of photons (light particles), and transmitting these states over a distance.
- Led by IIT, Madras.
- Quantum Sensing and Metrology: Quantum sensing uses quantum systems to make atomic-scale measurements.
- Quantum Metrology seeks to create highly sensitive and high-resolution measurements of physical conditions.
- Led by IIT, Bombay.
- Quantum Materials and Devices: It involves investigating structural, electrical and magnetic properties of various nanoscale systems, in a wide variety of materials.
- Led by IIT, Delhi.
