The Indian Institute of Science aspires to deploy a dedicated effort to address key quantum technology challenges by establishing a framework to promote collaborations between physicists, material scientists, computer scientists, and engineers. IISc (Indian Institute of Science), the key institute instrumental in helping India develop past strategic missions (Indian nuclear technology and space technology programs were conceived and nurtured at IISc), has a multi-disciplinary research faculty interested in quantum science and technologies. Prior to the current interest in quantum technologies, IISc has played a pioneering role in the country for efforts to become self-reliant in areas of Condensed Matter Physics, Nanoelectronics, and Nanoscience.
Quantum Research Park, a Hub for Quantum Computing and related technologies is a project administered by FSID (Foundation for Science Innovation and Development), IISc with support from KITS (Karnataka Innovation and Technology Society), Government of Karnataka. QuRP will encourage scientific inventions & innovations in the field of Quantum Computing and related technologies. We envision creating QuRP to foster skill development, mentorship, and industry/startup collaborations in the domain of quantum technologies.
