Karnataka Eyes Annual Quantum India Summit After Resounding Success of Bengaluru Edition
Bengaluru: Buoyed by the overwhelming response to the inaugural Quantum India Bengaluru Summit 2025, Karnataka is now planning to make it an annual event, State Minister for Minor Irrigation and Science & Technology N.S. Boseraju announced on Thursday. Speaking at the summit's valedictory session, Mr. Boseraju said, 'This first edition has marked a milestone on the global quantum map. Given its scale and impact, the state government is considering hosting it annually.' The summit drew 1,951 delegates, far exceeding the initial expectation of 500, and featured 24 sessions with 75 speakers, including Nobel laureates and senior representatives from 19 countries such as the US, UK, Israel, Germany, and Japan. The event saw active participation from quantum researchers, corporates, startups, and academic institutions. Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar chaired a roundtable with global stakeholders to explore collaborative opportunities. Several foreign institutions and investors expressed keen interest in partnering with Karnataka in quantum technology ventures. Highlighting the state's long-term vision, Mr. Boseraju reiterated Karnataka's plan to launch a ₹1,000 crore Quantum Mission by 2035. This includes skilling initiatives, infrastructure development, and startup incubation. He also announced new quantum curricula at the school level and expansion of DST-funded PhD fellowships in quantum computing, sensing, and communication. An MoU was signed between IIIT Dharwad, Raichur, and QpiAI to establish an 8-qubit quantum computer, marking a key leap in research and training. 'Karnataka is poised to become a global quantum powerhouse,' Boseraju declared, signalling a new frontier in India's science and tech landscape.

Quantum India Summit 2025: India must build labs, train talent to stay in Quantum tech race, says Nobel Laureate Duncan Haldane
Bengaluru: Even as quantum computing continues to be a work in progress, countries like India must not wait on the sidelines, said Nobel-winning physicist Prof Duncan Haldane. Delivering a keynote address at the Quantum India Summit 2025, titled "The Modern Quantum Mechanics is 100 Years Old; Why All the Excitement Today," the Princeton professor and 2016 Physics Nobel Laureate said the future of quantum technology won't be shaped by govts and large corporations alone, but also by smaller players, who focus on real-world, niche applications like quantum sensing. Haldane said while full-scale quantum computers are still being developed by the likes of IBM, Google, and national labs, the immediate opportunity lies in areas like high-precision magnetic sensing, brain imaging, AI-powered geolocation, and even gravitational field mapping.

Sensors based on quantum principles are already being used in real applications. These are not just for computing — they are changing how we sense the world around us," said Haldane. Encouraging countries like India and its states to seize this moment, Haldane said smaller players can make a big impact by identifying niche sensor applications. But to fully participate in this second quantum revolution, he stressed, govts must invest in building a strong foundation of science education and fundamental research. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If you have a mouse, play this game for 1 minute Navy Quest Undo He said: "Govts need quantum-literate researchers, trained in vibrant universities doing world-class science." He urged Indian policymakers to invest in top-tier laboratories and training institutions, noting that young people need to see real science happening around them in order to be inspired. Haldane also outlined what he called the three essential communities that must come together to make quantum technology a success: physicists and theorists, who build models and conceptual systems; materials scientists and engineers, who turn those ideas into physical devices; and entrepreneurs, who assess the commercial potential and take the leap to build them. Haldane said the quantum future will belong to those countries that invest not just in tech, but in people — scientists, students, and risk-taking innovators.
