Synopsis
[edit]Quantum Computing Hardware and Software
[edit]The book explains the fundamentals of quantum computing, presenting the concepts in accessible language suitable for non-experts. It delves into the quantum computing stack, detailing its various layers such as hardware, middleware, and software.
Quantum Computing Applications
[edit]Additionally, the book explores a wide array of quantum computing applications that hold significant potential for India's technological advancement. By doing so, it provides readers with a comprehensive overview of how these emerging technologies can be applied across different sectors in the country.
India's National Quantum Mission
[edit]A key highlight of the book is its detailed examination of India's National Quantum Mission [4], explaining why the country is uniquely positioned for success in this field. It discusses the pivotal roles played by key figures in government, industry, and academia who are steering this initiative. Additionally, the book outlines the burgeoning ecosystem made up of academia, industry, and startups, delving into the challenges they encounter and their potential contributions to securing India's leadership in quantum technology. The book outlines a vision for success by leveraging existing strengths and adopting best practices from proven models.
Lessons From History
[edit]The book delves into India's technological history, highlighting how the country initially made good progress in semiconductors, hardware, and software. However, it was only in the software sector that India successfully developed a domestic industry [5], which catapulted the country into a leading role in global software development.
Connection with Ancient Indian Science
[edit]The book also makes intriguing connections between quantum mechanics and ancient Indian scriptures, including the Vedas and the Bhagavad Gita[6]. By drawing parallels between these traditional texts and modern scientific principles, the author illustrates how ancient wisdom can inform and enrich our understanding of quantum phenomena. This approach not only highlights the continuity of India's intellectual heritage but also suggests how quantum computing is seen as a bridge between ancient wisdom and modern technology by young people in India.
