DoT to establish quantum certification lab, set computing standards: Secy

The Department of Telecom is working to establish a quantum certification lab and set standards for quantum computing, a senior official said on Thursday. While speaking at the Second International Quantum Communication Conclave, Telecom Secretary Neeraj Mittal said that a lot of work is happening in C-DoT on quantum communications, and India has to be cautious in developing the technology with like-minded parties. "We are working with TEC to create standards (for quantum computing). We are also working on setting up a quantum certification lab," Mittal said. He said that the certification lab will test and verify the solutions that claim to be based on quantum technology. "There are countries who have massive resources at hand but do not necessarily believe in democratic values as India. We need to find the right partners and work with them," Mittal said. The Cabinet approved the National Quantum Computing Mission on April 19, 2023, with an outlay of Rs 6,003.65 crore for 8 ...
