Study Notes
Quantum Physics Overview
- Quantum physics examines nature at atomic and subatomic levels, focusing on energy levels.
- Key concept of Quantization: Energy is absorbed or emitted in discrete packets called quanta.
- Wave-Particle Duality indicates that particles like electrons display both wave-like and particle-like behaviors.
- Superposition allows particles to exist in multiple states simultaneously until observed.
- Entanglement creates a link between particles, where the state of one affects the state of another regardless of distance.
India's National Quantum Mission
- Official launch by the Government of India aimed at advancing quantum technology.
- Mission was approved in April 2023 with a budget of Rs. 6003.65 crore, spanning from 2023-24 to 2030-31.
- Primary goal is to position India as a leader in quantum technology.
Key Objectives of the Mission
- Development of quantum computing, communication, sensing, and materials/devices.
Quantum Computing Initiatives
