IIT Delhi Sets Up Centre Of Excellence On Quantum Technologies

Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi has established a Centre of Excellence (CoE) on Quantum Technologies to bring research activities occurring in various domains of Quantum Technologies at IIT Delhi under a single umbrella. The CoE will bring synergy and coherence in the activities being carried out at the Institute and will support the Principal Investigators to pitch in for more significant projects from the DST and other funding agencies.
Many countries like the USA, China, Japan, EU and UK has invested heavily into this technology. Following the suit, the Indian government has sanctioned Rs 8000 crores for research in the area of quantum technology.
Professor Rajendra Singh, Head, School of Interdisciplinary Research (SIRe) and lead PI, CoE on Quantum Technologies, IIT Delhi said, “In the past 100 years or so, Quantum Physics has impacted the society in an unprecedented way. By exploiting the characteristics of quantum physics in light and materials, researchers invented both the laser and the transistor. Such inventions form the basis of information technology as a whole – computers, the internet, and much more besides – which to a large extent has shaped our society today. It was the first quantum revolution. The second quantum revolution is now round the corner, benefitting enormously from the advancements in our ability to detect and manipulate single quantum objects such as photons and atoms.”
