Livemint · 6m

The Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) in Mumbai, India has successfully tested a six qubit quantum computer. This achievement is a significant milestone for India, which is currently lagging behind in the global race for quantum computing. TIFR is working towards further optimizing and improving the system before it becomes fully operational. The project is a result of collaboration between TIFR, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS). The National Mission on Quantum Technologies and Applications, launched by the Indian government, aims to make India globally competitive in quantum computing within the next five years.
