Main Body

Quantum mechanics refers to the application of quantum physics to study the behaviour at atomic and sub-atomic levels of particles. Technologies present in common today, that are based on quantum mechanics: (1) The quantum entanglement is used in sending messages. Ex: In communication. (2) In providing security to the exchange of data, quantum laws are used. Ex: Superposition of qubits.

3In understanding the universe. Ex: In satellites, to understand the cosmos - Aditya L1. (4) In the electrical field. Ex: Resistance by the quantum materials. (5) In the medical field. Ex: The use of photon beams in therapy. Steps taken by India: (1) Quantum computing Mission was launched. (2) Also under it, focus is on creating super computers. Ex: Param Shivay.

2Along with it, the government has launched Design Linked Incentive scheme. Ex: For the manufacture of raw materials. (4) The exchange of technology and knowledge between the countries. Ex: India-USA's iCET agreement. The Quantum science and technology is opening up wide opportunities if need to be tapped for fostering a vibrant bharat by 2047.
