India, as a developing country, is rising at a pace that can compete with China in two decades. Only 50 million people come from the world's most populous country and even though poverty is still a commonplace where they live, the government is clearly on the path to greater power.
India is 40 times its budget in quantum world R&D
For obvious reasons, the Indian government has given the green light to the final skin to give its companies access 1.13 billion dollars to fund quantum computing research within its borders.
The previous budget appears to be closer to $ 27.9 million over the past five years, and it was evidently the precursor to the announcement this morning.
In the end funding was set for this purpose, but the Indian government is well aware of the latest movement and information, as well as the lessons and results of its R&D departments, as the money would reportedly go away. go to "National Mission of Interdisciplinary cyber-Physical Systems".
The secretary of the Department of Science and Technology in Delhi noted that India is strong from a strategic point of view, but at the same time they need to build infrastructure and testing facilities to improve the capacity of such a computer.
Communications, cryptography, scientific and computer equipment
This is the ambition of the Indian government which has passed its most important measures in this budget, where efforts will be shown to scientists and computer industry leaders.
The four are the pillars on which money will be invested: computer science, materials, communications and cryptography. This massive facility will coincide with the Department of Science budget increase, which will have a massive $ 2 billion capacity.
Google and IBM have already shown that they are leading quantum technology through computers and encryption, but China won't sleep and India is already in the process of R&D. Both these Asian countries know that this race can be won against American giants, because it starts from scratch and will be easier to compete in the industry than against AMD and Intel.
Higher technological advancements in this sector will not only open the door to competing defense forces in the short term, but also position the country as a "weapon" to consider while at the same time attracting the world's best brains.
It is not surprising, then, that this is not an easy task for research in the quantum world, it is a strategic strategy to dominate a sector with so many possibilities that even researchers cannot determine today. What is clear is that India is positioned as the center of great power as China did then, we will see in a few years who takes the cat out of the water.
