Why Quantum Technology Is a Strategic Bet for India

Описание: Quantum technology is not just another wave of innovation — it reshapes what is computationally possible and directly impacts security, defense, healthcare, logistics, finance, and geopolitical power.

India’s National Quantum Mission, backed by ₹6,000 crore over eight years, aims to build end-to-end capability across quantum computing, communication, sensing, and materials science. The goal is not hype, but strategic relevance — ensuring India does not become dependent on foreign quantum infrastructure for critical systems.

Quantum computers could potentially break current encryption standards, accelerate drug discovery, optimize complex systems, and enable quantum-secure communication networks. Institutions like IIT Delhi have already demonstrated quantum-secure free-space communication, showing early proof points.

While global leaders push large-scale hardware, India is building strengths in algorithms, software, system integration, and secure communication frameworks. The stakes are high — once global quantum ecosystems solidify, late entrants will struggle to compete.

This is a long-term play. But India is no longer watching the shift. It is actively building its position in the global quantum value chain.
