TCG plans to develop Indias first private sector quantum computer
Kolkata Apr 20 PTI TCG Group on Wednesday said it is planning to develop Indias first private sector quantum computer in Kolkata which will usher in a new era in research projectsQuantum computers are machines that use the properties of quantum physics and can vastly outperform even the best supercomputers in carrying out certain tasksTCG led by Purnendu Chatterjee also announced that it wants to get university status for its existing research centre TCG CREST where PhD scholars are working in frontier technologiesChatterjee announced the projects at the sixth Bengal Global Business Summit organised by the state governmentHe did not disclose any investment figure on quantum computing and research but said it can run into thousands of crores of rupeesA company official claimed that the countrys defence establishment has set up a quantum computing labCREST is working in the areas of quantum computing neurosciences cryptology data driven intelligence and sustainable energy he saidThe research works are being led by globally renowned scientists who have joined the initiative from institutions and universities which are known for their leadership in research efforts globally Chatterjee saidProf Sabyasachi Bhattacharya who was director of Tata Institute of Fundamental Research and is now associated with TCGs CREST said We dont want to keep research with education separate That is the reason for seeking university status for CREST CREST has already applied for that statusAs a part of the global innovation ecosystem these research centres along with a university will help curate an intellectual property base with entrepreneurial opportunities and high-end jobs in the state Chatterjee said PTI BSM dc NN NN
