India's Quantum Vision 2035: Roadmap Warns of Costs of Inaction
India has released a plan called Quantum Vision 2035.
It says India has a big chance to become a leader in quantum technology, which is very important for the future.
The plan warns that if India doesn't invest in this technology, it could fall behind other countries like China.
This could make India weaker in areas like defence and cybersecurity, and it could also hurt the economy.
The plan gives seven steps to follow to make sure India becomes a leader in quantum technology by 2035.
Telangana, a state in India, says it wants to play a big role in this plan.
It wants to do research, train people, and help companies use this new technology.
Everyone, including the government, schools, and businesses, needs to work together to make this happen.
India's Quantum Vision 2035 roadmap emphasizes the need for immediate action to develop and adopt quantum technologies to achieve global leadership by 2035.
Failure to invest in quantum technologies could amplify India's strategic vulnerabilities in defence, cybersecurity, and advanced communications.
Economic risks include stifled growth, limited job creation, and a potential trade deficit, hindering India's transition to a high-income economy.
The roadmap outlines five visions and seven actionable recommendations to bridge critical gaps and complement the National Quantum Mission (NQM).
Telangana aims to lead India's quantum journey by building research capabilities, nurturing talent, and fostering industry innovation.
