US Japan Ties and India's Quantum Computing Future: Insights from Amith Singhee

The Impact of US Japan Ties on Quantum Computing

Countries such as the US and Japan have based their leadership in quantum computing on local talent, academic research, government support and the installation of local, dedicated quantum computers. India has a unique opportunity to establish itself as a global leader in quantum computing with a similar approach, says Amith Singhee, director, IBM Research India; CTO, IBM India/South Asia.

National Quantum Mission and IBM’s Role

India’s quantum computing landscape is driven by initiatives such as the National Quantum Mission (NQM) and a focus on R&D. The nation is building towards the growth of its quantum potential by fostering industry engagement and creating a thriving domestic quantum ecosystem.

  • IBM is actively supporting NQM proposals
  • Contributing to skill-building through quantum system credits
  • Significant investments in quantum research and talent development are positioning India as a key player

Preparing for the Quantum Era

Indian organisations should begin by building a foundational understanding of quantum computing and its industry impact while investing in talent development. Joining the quantum ecosystem, like the IBM Quantum Network, can provide access to advanced technology and research collaboration.

Leveraging Software Development Strengths

A major area of innovation will be quantum algorithm discovery and quantum-centric supercomputing, integrating quantum and classical computing to solve different parts of complex computing problems.

Collaborating for Progress

Collaboration among government, academia, research bodies, and industry is key for advancing quantum technologies. Government support fosters a conducive environment for R&D, which is essential for making strides in this exciting field.
