Dear Friends,
Greetings of the day! Elated to update that our first webinar held on 19th June was a success! Special Thanks to L Venkata Subramaniam for sharing his experience and knowledge. The objective of our first webinar was to make it simple and curious enough so that participants from various categories can join and engage. We had an interesting mix of participants i.e. 10% experts, 45% knew basics and 55% were first timers.
I passionately believe that the Quantum ecosystem is big enough wherein we all can join, engage, and have our space. We are just getting started in India, apart from our weekly newsletter, we have started the monthly webinar and with your active participation we all look forward to continuing the momentum in the time to come to build a community focused around Quantum Computing in India. Our next monthly webinar would be on the theme of Cyber Security. Stay tuned for more updates. Feel free to share our newsletter and updates with friends who you think might be interested.
Stay Safe, take due care.
Regards,
Chintan Oza

Qubit at Room Temperature
University of Copenhagen researchers have devised a novel way for keeping quantum bits of light stable at ambient temperature rather than at -270 degrees. Their discovery is a quantum scientific milestone that saves energy and money.
Can you fit in a Quantum Computer in a 19-inch rack? Meet the team who has taken up this challenge.
Researchers from the University of Innsbruck in Austria successfully installed a fully working ion trap quantum computer into two 19-inch server racks, as seen in data centers all over the world. As part of the EU-funded AQTION project with funding of 10 million euros, researchers are aiming to develop a set-up that is more accessible is therefore key to expanding the reach of the Quantum technology. The proposed architecture demonstrates that quantum computers will soon be ready for deployment in data centers across the world.
Quantum Computing comes to Google Cloud
Now you’re ready to start using the IonQ Cloud API and console to write and execute quantum programs. Google Cloud and IonQ have announced a partnership extending direct access to the IonQ Quantum Cloud, including IonQ’s cloud console and API through the Google Cloud Marketplace.

Quantum Computing course launched by IIT-M
IIT-M and IBM have offered a free online course on quantum computing on the NPTEL platform that can be completed in 4 weeks. This course is titled, Introduction to Quantum Computing: Quantum Algorithms and Qiskit and would be delivered using Swayam platform. The course is scheduled to start on 23rd Aug 2021 and would be concluding on 23rd Oct. This course is a free course but students seeking a certificate would have to undergo a proctored exam at designated centers by paying INR 1000.
