IIT Madras and IBM collaborate on quantum computing research and education

The Indian Institute of Technology Madras on Monday declared another cooperation with IBM on quantum computing education and examination.

The coordinated effort will give IIT Madras workforce, researchers and students with access to IBM’s quantum systems and instruments over IBM Cloud to speed up joint examination in quantum computing.

It will likewise foster educational programs to help plan students for professions that will be affected by this next period of computing across science and business.

The quantum figuring lab courses will remember hands-for lab meetings on the IBM quantum frameworks and expand existing seminars on quantum data and registering. IBM will give the learning assets, apparatuses and frameworks access required by the workforce and understudies.

Gargi Dasgupta, Director at IBM Research India, said IBM is focused on supporting teachers like IIT Madras which are forming the up and coming age of quantum innovators through different drives and projects.

Prof Anil Prabhakar of the Department of Electrical Engineering at IIT Madras said quantum computing offers the chance to take care of computationally intractable issues.

“We have played an influential position in the indigenous advancement of quantum key distribution (QKD), having shown dispersed stage reference QKD at distances up to 150 km,” he said.

“Such QKD conventions structure the builidng blocks for quantum networks that will secure our communication, and furthermore empower new standards like photonic quantum computing other than dispersed and blind quantum computing.”
