Vision of the National Quantum Mission: Featuring the Quantum Computing Hub at IISc Bengaluru

The webinar featuring the Foundation for QC Innovation, India’s dedicated Quantum Computing Thematic Hub established at IISc Bengaluru under the National Quantum Mission conducted on November 19th, 2025, witnessed 1500 registrations & 500 participants.

The session was moderated by Technology Managers Team from Quantum Computing Vertical, NQM-Mission Coordination Cell, IIT Kanpur:

  • Dr. Amrita De Adhikari, Technical Writer
  • Dr. Amruta Gadge, Technology Manager
  • Dr. Gopal Krishna Dixit, Technology Manager

Speakers:

  • Lead Principal Investigator of the Technical group Programmable photonic quantum computing using qubits encoded in different degrees of freedom of a photon.
  • A pioneering effort under NQM to build scalable, room-temperature quantum processors based on light.
  • Prof. Chandrashekar is one of India’s foremost quantum scientists, known for impactful contributions to quantum information processing, quantum walks, and photonic quantum computing. His rare blend of theoretical depth and experimental innovation continues to push the frontiers of India’s quantum capabilities.
  • His group at IISc has developed India’s first 6-qubit photonic quantum computing system, demonstrated quantum teleportation, and engineered entanglement-based quantum random number generators now deployed by national agencies—advancing India’s indigenous quantum hardware roadmap under the National Quantum Mission.
  • Lead Principal Investigator of the Technical Group on Quantum Computing with Neutral Atoms, Trapped Ions and Related Hybrid Systems under the National Quantum Mission.
  • Prof. Chaudhuri is an acclaimed experimental physicist and Associate Professor at the RRI, Bengaluru, where he leads the QuMIX Lab — advancing frontier research in ultracold atoms, quantum mixtures, and precision measurement.
  • His pioneering work bridges Bose–Einstein condensates, quantum transport, spin noise spectroscopy, and hybrid quantum architectures — establishing India’s capabilities in neutral-atom and ion-based quantum computing.
