IIT-Roorkee, IISc Bangalore & C-DAC develop India’s first Quantum Computer Simulator toolkit– Education News
The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India on Friday launched the country’s first ‘Quantum Computer Simulator (QSim) Toolkit’. QSim is a first-of-its-kind toolkit to be indigenously developed and is intended to be a vital tool in learning and understanding the practical aspects of programming using Quantum Computer.
It is the country’s first collaborative initiative in this field, brought together by IISc Bangalore, IIT Roorkee and C-DAC to address the common challenge of advancing the Quantum Computing research frontiers in India. It will enable researchers and students to research Quantum Computing in a cost-effective manner.
Quantum computing is a rapidly emerging computational paradigm that can perform a variety of tasks with greater speed and efficiency than present-day digital computers by harnessing the power of Quantum Mechanics. In areas such as cryptography, computational chemistry and machine learning, Quantum computing promises exponential growth in computing power.
The project was conceptualised through a multi-institutional approach by IISc Bengaluru, IIT Roorkee and C-DAC as participating agencies. It was supported & funded by MeitY. QSim allows researchers and students to write and debug quantum code that is essential for developing quantum algorithms.
