The Indian quantum technology landscape is receiving a comprehensive review from Aspen Quantum Consulting, detailing government initiatives like the 80 billion INR National Mission for Quantum Technologies and Applications, and the roles of academic institutions and corporations. The National Quantum Mission in India is set to launch, with over 150 researchers and 40 institutions identified for engagement in quantum technologies. On the research front, a team has published their work on a compact microwave diode architecture in Nature Communications, demonstrating a significant difference between power levels transmitted in opposite directions. This opens up diverse opportunities in quantum information, microwave read-out, and optomechanics. Meanwhile, Microsoft's Azure Quantum Resource Estimator has been made open-source and integrated with the Modern Quantum Development Kit. Let me be clear: This is what enterprises need. Tools to give us a clear roadmap towards quantum advantage. The Oak Ridge National Laboratory has received three funding awards to enhance its quantum computing and networking capabilities. Thales has partnered with Quantinuum to launch the Post-Quantum Cryptography Starter Kit, aimed at preparing businesses for the next evolution in technology and security. The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science has inaugurated a new institute dedicated to the development of military quantum computing and sensing technology. Cisco is making progress in quantum networking, focusing on security applications like post-quantum cryptography. Zapata Computing leverages quantum physics mathematics to train generative AI models with less data. IBM researchers have demonstrated a proof of concept for a key element of error correction required for universal, fault-tolerant quantum computation. Magic state distillation. Lastly, Taiwan's research institute Academia Sinica has connected its first home-grown quantum computer to the internet. Ah, and D-wave has launched their Advantage2 with 1200 annealing qubits. (There used to be a time when annealing qubits had a different order of magnitude than gate based ones… but that gap is getting closer!). Lastly, Terra Quantum claimed they could have potentially observed a graphite based room temp superconductor. One more step in the superconductivity saga, we will watch this one closely!
