About

Welcome to the Center for Quantum Science and Technologies (CQST) at IIT Mandi, India. We are dedicated to advancing the field of quantum computing and educating future generations of Indian quantum computing scientists. Our center is focused on building a reliable and scalable optical vortex-based quantum computing platform, capable of solving specific problems without the need for algorithms. We aim to explore how multiple quantum phenomena can work together to instantly deliver deeper insights into any unknown data. To achieve these goals, we are establishing a national laboratory with state-of-the-art facilities to test all hallmarks of optical quantum computing, including a quantum supremacy testing facility. We are also building a prototype construction facility for a quantum computer and cryptographic device. Our center is constantly working on developing and optimizing nanowire self-assembly as encoding of quantum algorithms for the optical vortex-based quantum computer.
