QpiAI (startup selected under National Quantum Mission (NQM)) launched 25 qubit superconducting quantum computer (QpiAI-Indus) on occasion of World Quantum Day (April 14th).
- It is first full-stack quantum computing system in country and combines advanced quantum hardware, scalable control, and optimized software for hybrid computing.
About Quantum Computers and its Principles:
- It leverages principles of quantum mechanics to solve complex problems beyond the reach of classical computers.
- In quantum computing, information is processed using qubits, which are quantum counterparts of classical bits.
- Unlike bits, which can only be in one of two states (0 or 1), qubits can exist in a superposition of both states simultaneously.
- Key Principles:
- Entanglement: Quantum particles become interconnected; measuring one instantly defines the other’s state, regardless of distance.
- Superposition: A quantum system can exist in multiple states simultaneously.
- Interference: Combines quantum states to amplify correct results and suppress errors.
Significance of Quantum computers for India
- Global Leadership: Positions India alongside U.S., China, and France in quantum tech advancement.
- Secure Communication: Develops quantum networks for unbreakable, high-bandwidth communication.
- Drug & Chemical Research: Precise molecular modeling for faster and more effective drug and compound development.
- AI & Machine Learning: Faster optimization and processing of complex, unstructured data at scale.
- Manufacturing: Improved prototyping, design accuracy, and reduced testing costs.
