Why India is falling behind in the Y2Q race
NEW DELHI :Two decades ago, the world faced its first big computing scare. “Indian government is late, but efforts have begun in the last two years," said Debajyoti Bera, a professor at Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology Delhi, who researches quantum computing. “The ministry of electronics and information technology is interested in computing aspects; DRDO in encryption products and Isro in satellite communication," said a senior official at the department of science and technology who is directly involved in formulating India’s quantum policy initiatives, on condition of anonymity. “That is not enough to compete with IBM," said Anirban Pathak, a professor at Jaypee Institute of Information Technology, and a recipient of DST’s QuEST funding. “There are many isolated communities in India working on various aspects: quantum hardware, quantum key distribution, information theory and other fields," said Bera.
