The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Mandi is pioneering the development of an indigenous quantum computer that operates at room temperature. This innovative technology will utilize photons to enhance calculation speeds, as confirmed by institute officials.
The computer, being developed as part of the National Quantum Mission, will be unique in its ability to analyse data and suggest solutions with 86 per cent accuracy without traditional algorithms, they said.
“We are constructing a room-temperature optical Quantum computer capable of solving feature learning and classification problems instantly. “Composing a quantum algorithm is tedious. “So let’s say that those companies are making a quantum computer which is based on a superconducting Josephson junction qubit. To do that quantum computing you will require a very very low temperature. Yadav explained that the room-temperature optical quantum computer will use light for doing fast calculations. Using quantum bits (qubits), the computer will exist in multiple states simultaneously, allowing incredibly fast processing. The system will be able to update itself and erase its memory using a special gel.
The computer, being developed as part of the National Quantum Mission, will be unique in its ability to analyse data and suggest solutions with 86 per cent accuracy without traditional algorithms, they said. Yet our computer will mirror the inquisitive mind of a scientist, swiftly suggesting an approximate theoretical model for unknown big data with an 86 per cent accuracy, all without relying on algorithms,” Yadav told PTI.
It will extract a model to explain inherent dynamics hidden in the input data and deliver output as quantum live feed, he said. So, our objective is to make a photon-based quantum computer at room temperature,” he said.
