The CoE aims to bring synergy and continuity to the ongoing activities of the Institute, and will support key researchers to participate in more important projects from DST and other funding agencies. The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi has established a “Centre of Excellence in Quantum Technology (CoE)” to carry out research activities in related fields. The institute stated that the CoE aims to bring synergy and continuity to the institute’s ongoing activities, and will support key researchers to participate in more important projects of DST and other funding agencies. Rajendra Singh, head of the Institute of Interdisciplinary Research (SIRe) at the Indian Institute of Technology (SIRe) and chief PI, head of quantum technology CoE, said: “In the past 100 years or so, quantum physics has affected society in unprecedented ways. By using light and The characteristics of quantum physics in materials, researchers invented lasers and transistors.
These inventions form the basis of the entire information technology-computers, the Internet, etc.-which have largely shaped our society today. This is the first A quantum revolution. The second quantum revolution is coming now, which greatly benefits from the advancement in our ability to detect and manipulate individual quantum objects such as photons and atoms.”
