The telecom department has invited applications from the communications industry for standardizing and testing of quantum technologies which can benefit communication networks.
“The main objective is to accelerate research and development in quantum technologies, ensuring the interoperability, reliability, and security of quantum communication systems,” the department of telecommunications ( DoT) said in a release Sunday.
These "Quantum Standardization and Testing Labs," will serve as innovation hubs, uniting quantum technology developers, testing equipment manufacturers, and academic researchers, it said.
Quantum technology are those which use the building blocks of nature (subatomic particles) to improve use-cases across pharmaceuticals, energy, finance, transport, defence, communications and health, among others.
In communications, these can be applied for transmitting photons at higher speeds to remote regions, improve data security and reliability of networks as well as efficient energy consumption.
The government has proposed testing of technologies like single photon and entangled photon sources, quantum memories and repeaters, quantum teleportation, and free-space quantum communications, trusted nodes and untrusted nodes etc.
Testing includes verifying their performance under different conditions and certifying their compliance with national and international standards.
Standardization shall include establishing benchmarks and protocols essential for integration of quantum communication elements such as quantum key distribution, quantum state analysers, optical fibres, and components into existing and future communication networks.
The last date for submission of proposals is August 5, 2024.
