Last year, IBM brought about a significant milestone in quantum computing: the advent of the quantum utility era. Quantum utility means quantum computers can execute circuits that surpass the brute-force simulation capabilities of classical computers. And India is poised to become a leader in this era and help bring about the next evolutionary leap in quantum computing: achieving quantum advantage.
Quantum advantage represents point where quantum computers not only perform tasks beyond the reach of brute-force classical simulations but also solve practical problems faster or more efficiently than any classical computing method, hereby offering real-world benefits. Achieving quantum advantage requires advancing in two areas: the first is the continuing maturation of quantum hardware and software, relying on ever-improving scale, quality, speed, error handling techniques, and more. The second is in developing the algorithms, applications, and ecosystem required to make the most use of that quantum infrastructure.
Researchers, educators, students, and other stakeholders are passionately working to build the country’s quantum computing community. And now, with its National Quantum Mission, the country is becoming quantum ready and working to push the field closer to quantum advantage.
INDIA'S NATIONAL QUANTUM MISSION
On April 19, 2023, the Union Cabinet approved the National Quantum Mission (NQM), funded from 2023-24 to 2030-3. This mission aimed to “seed, nurture and scale up scientific and industrial R&D and create a vibrant & innovative ecosystem in Quantum Technology (QT).”
" ACHIEVING QUANTUM ADVANTAGE REQUIRES ADVANCING IN TWO AREAS: THE CONTINUING MATURATION OF QUANTUM HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE, AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF ALGORITHMS, APPLICATIONS, AND AN ECOSYSTEM TO MAKE THE MOST USE OF THAT QUANTUM INFRASTRUCTURE.

Is AI on Batman's side or on Joker's side?
Also, spoiler alert. Your body-guard is not your body double. Leave the couch. In an age where Cyber-insurers also look at security maturity before they undertake new enterprises, where security fatigue is a bitter reality, where the grey-matter of LLMs can easily be conned by benign chatter, and where AI is turning as much into a Robin as into a Harley Quinn - and with equal speed and probability - whose side is AI on? Philippa Cogswell, Managing Partner, Unit 42, Asia Pacific & Japan, Palo Alto Networks helps us unravel these complex plot lines.
