Additionally, it will create curricula that will help prepare students for professions which are going to be affected with this next generation of computing across mathematics and company.

The quantum computing laboratory courses include hands-on laboratory sessions around the IBM quantum techniques and also fortify existing classes on quantum computing and information.
IBM will offer the learning tools, systems and tools access required by the school as well as students.

Gargi Dasgupta, Director in IBM Research India, said IBM is dedicated to supporting teachers like IIT Madras that are forming the next generation of unmanned innovators through different programmes and initiatives.

Prof Anil Prabhakar of this Department of Electric Engineering at IIT Madras stated quantum computing provides the chance to resolve computationally intractable issues.

“We’ve played a leadership role in the indigenous evolution of quantum key distribution (QKD), with exhibited distributed stage benchmark QKD up to 150 kilometers,” he explained.

“Such QKD protocols produce the building blocks for quantum computers which can safeguard our communications, and enable new paradigms such as photonic quantum computing systems apart from dispersed and blind computing”
