National Quantum Mission (NQM) क्या है?
ऐतिहासिक पृष्ठभूमि
मुख्य प्रावधान
12 points- 1.
The NQM aims to develop quantum computers with 50-1000 physical qubitsthe basic unit of quantum information by 2031. This is a highly ambitious goal, as building stable and scalable quantum computers is a significant technological challenge. For context, even leading nations are still in the early stages of developing fault-tolerant quantum computers with a comparable number of qubits.
- 2.
A key component of the NQM is the establishment of quantum communication networks. The mission envisions developing secure quantum key distribution (QKD) systems for secure data transmission over distances exceeding 2000 km. This technology is crucial for safeguarding sensitive information from cyber threats, particularly in sectors like defense and finance.
- 3.
The mission supports research into quantum materials. These materials exhibit unique quantum properties that can be exploited for various technological applications. Developing these materials indigenously is crucial for reducing reliance on foreign suppliers and ensuring technological self-reliance.

सामान्य प्रश्न
61. In an MCQ, what's a common trap regarding the NQM's budget and duration?
Students often misremember the total outlay of ₹6000 crore as an annual allocation, or confuse the 8-year duration with a shorter timeframe. Examiners might offer options like '₹6000 crore annually' or 'a 5-year mission' to mislead you. Remember, it's ₹6000 crore *total* over 8 years.
परीक्षा युक्ति
Associate '6' with '8' – ₹6000 crore for 8 years. Visualize '6' rotating to become '8'.
2. The NQM aims to develop quantum computers with 50-1000 physical qubits by 2031. Why is this number significant, and what's the catch?
The 50-1000 qubit range represents a crucial step towards achieving 'quantum supremacy' – the point where quantum computers can perform tasks beyond the capabilities of classical computers. However, the catch is that these are *physical* qubits, which are prone to errors. Building stable, fault-tolerant quantum computers requires many more physical qubits to create a single *logical* qubit. So, achieving even 50 reliable logical qubits by 2031 would be a major breakthrough.
