The National Quantum Mission (NQM) created four thematic hubs

Four thematic hubs were established by the National Quantum Mission (NQM).

Among the activities that would occur at these T-Hubs are technological development, human resource development, entrepreneurial development, industrial partnerships, and international partnerships.

The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur was selected to serve as the hubs' management coordinating centre.

The main technology verticals of T-Hubs

The application of quantum computing. Quantum computers use special units called qubits to store and process information.

Unlike regular computers, where bits can only be either 0 or 1, qubits can be both 0 and 1, led by the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bengaluru.

Quantum communication is the process of encoding information in quantum states, typically of photons (light particles), and transmitting these states over a distance.

Metrology and Quantum Sensing: Quantum sensing uses quantum systems to measure at the atomic level.

The development of incredibly sensitive and accurate physical state measurements is the aim of quantum metrology- The leader is IIT Bombay.

The goal of quantum materials and devices is to explore the structural, electrical, and magnetic properties of various nanoscale systems in a wide variety of materials.- The leader is IIT Delhi.

By encouraging, expanding, and scaling up scientific and industrial research and development, the National Quantum Mission (NQM) aims to create a vibrant and innovative ecosystem in quantum technology (QT).

The implementing agency is the Department of Science and Technology (DST), which is a branch of the Ministry of Science and Technology. NQM is one of the nine missions of the Prime Minister's Science, Technology, and Innovation Advisory Council (PMSTIAC).

From 2023 to 2031, the mission will operate. Goals include developing secure quantum communications through the use of intermediate-scale quantum computers and satellites.
