National Quantum Mission: The Union Cabinet has approved the National Quantum Mission on Wednesday, on which about six thousand crore rupees will be spent in the next 8 years. Union ministers Anurag Thakur and Jitendra Singh gave this information.

The National Quantum Mission will come at a cost of 8884 crore rupees

Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur said that the proposal of National Quantum Mission was approved in the cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He told that the cost of this National Quantum Mission will be Rs 8884 crores and its time period will be 1000-24 From 2030- will be up to.

What is National Quantum Mission?

The National Quantum Mission will help develop high-sensitivity magnetometers in atomic systems and atomic clocks for accurate timing, communication and navigation. According to a government statement, under this new mission, various platforms such as superconducting and photonic technology will be developed in eight years. -703 with a capacity of physical cubits It is envisaged to develop an intermediate level quantum computer. On the other hand, Science and Technology Minister Jitendra Singh said that in the last nine years, the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has done many revolutionary works and this mission is a big step in this direction, in which scientific and industrial research and development, To accelerate economic development based on quantum technology.

Union Minister gave this information

Union Minister Jitendra Singh said that today India is one of the largest parties in the information technology sector, where the promotion of quantum information is important. He said that under this mission, the augmentation of information will be faster and they can be made more reliable. The Union Minister said that with this step, India has stood with six countries which have such capability. These countries include America, Canada, France, Austria, Finland and China.
