The University of Hyderabad (UoH) is proud to announce that Professor V. Subrahmanyam from the School of Physics has been selected as a member principal investigator in a significant research initiative under the Government of India’s National Quantum Mission (NQM). This mission, launched by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), aims to establish India as a global leader in quantum technology and innovation.
The DST has set up four Thematic Hubs (T-Hubs) within top academic and R&D institutions to drive the mission forward, each focusing on one of the following verticals: Quantum Computing, Quantum Communication, Quantum Sensing and Metrology, and Quantum Materials and Devices. These hubs are designed to foster basic and applied research, promoting R&D in cutting-edge quantum areas. Within each T-Hub, multiple Thematic Groups (TG) bring together researchers nationwide, creating a collaborative ecosystem to tackle complex quantum challenges.
Professor V. Subrahmanyam will be a core member of the Thematic Group (TG) working on “Field-Deployable Quantum-Enhanced Field Sensing on an Integrated Hybrid Platform.” This TG is led by the esteemed Professor Saikat Ghosh from IIT-Kanpur, who serves as the lead principal investigator. Professor Subrahmanyam’s role in the project will involve providing critical theoretical support on quantum entanglement and quantum information. His expertise will enhance the TG’s efforts to develop advanced field-deployable quantum sensing technologies, essential for applications in precision measurements, secure communications, and various other fields.
This collaboration places UoH at the forefront of India’s quantum research landscape, enabling our faculty and students to engage with cutting-edge developments in quantum science. The University’s participation in this national initiative underscores its commitment to advancing scientific knowledge and innovation in alignment with India’s technological goals.
The University of Hyderabad congratulates Professor V. Subrahmanyam on this achievement and extends its full support to his efforts within the National Quantum Mission. We look forward to the positive impact this project will have on India’s capabilities in quantum technology and its contributions to the global scientific community.
