TFQW: The fascinating Quantum World
Backdrop:
There have been three big opportunities in the last 50 years or so. The IT opportunity from the late 1960s and early 1970s, the AI opportunity whose huge impact we are witnessing now and the Quantum Opportunity which is taking shape before us, and will impact everything from room temperature and ambient pressure superconductivity, controlled thermonuclear fusion to Biology.
To get a sense of the excitement around Quantum Technologies, view this short video on the Trillion dollar Quantum Gold rush :https://youtu.be/wKN8wBl4X1M
The excitement got a big push with the Physics Nobel Prize 2022 being awarded for Quantum Entanglement: https://bigthink.com/starts-with-a-bang/quantum-entanglement-nobel-prize-physics/
The result is that after the nuclear race, the space race,the AI race, we now have a Global Quantum race in which all nations have their programs/ missions: https://www.kearney.com/aerospace-defense/article/-/insights/the-rise-of-national-quantum-strategies
India’s Quantum mission is in 4 domains : Quantum communication, Quantum simulation, Quantum computation, Quantum sensing and metrology : https://www.psa.gov.in/technology-frontiers/quantum-technologies/346
AI and Quantum together herald a new future for mankind:https://coruzant.com/quantum/what-benefits-will-quantum-computing-and-ai-provide-mankind/
As quantum technologies prove their potential and the range of applications broadens, governments around the world are realizing the need to support and scale a quantum ecosystem as well as develop a diverse, quantum-literate workforce.
Become a part of that future.
