Roorkee: Rajeev Chandrasekhar, Union minister of electronics and information technology, launched the country’s first ‘Quantum Computer Simulator (QSim) Toolkit’ on Friday. According to the ministry, the toolkit will enable researchers and students to research quantum computing cost-effectively.
The QSim project — executed collaboratively by IIT Roorkee, IISc Bangalore, and C-DAC — will help in developing and debugging quantum algorithms.
Notably, quantum simulators are devices that allow individuals to study quantum effects, which are otherwise difficult to study in a lab.
The authorities of IIT-Roorkee claimed that in areas such as cryptography, computational chemistry, and machine learning, quantum computing promises exponential growth in computing power. The premier institute added that QSim is a first-of-its-kind toolkit to be ‘indigenously’ developed and is intended to be a vital tool in learning and understanding the practical aspects of programming using quantum computers.
“The quantum simulator launched today (August 27) is poised to be a key enabler in the direction of quantum education and research,” said Professor AK Chaturvedi, director of IIT-Roorkee.
