Pick an option to check yourself.
Approach: *Focus on the structural and technical objectives of the National Quantum Mission (NQM) by categorizing its core goals into 'quantum hardware development' and 'institutional research infrastructure'.*
- **Correct Answer:** (c) Both 1 and 2
- **Quantum Computing Goal:** The NQM aims to develop intermediate-scale quantum computers with 50-1000 physical qubits over a period of 8 years. This is a critical step toward achieving fault-tolerant quantum computing.
- **Thematic Hubs (T-Hubs):** The mission mandates the establishment of four T-Hubs in top-tier academic and national R&D institutes. These hubs focus on four frontier domains:
1. Quantum Computing
2. Quantum Communication
3. Quantum Sensing and Metrology
4. Quantum Materials and Devices
- **Context:** These hubs are designed to act as centers of excellence to foster R&D, bridge the gap between academia and industry, and build a robust quantum ecosystem in India.
