Samsung Semiconductor India Research (SSIR) has partnered with the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) to establish a groundbreaking Quantum Technology Lab. This collaboration is part of SSIR’s corporate social responsibility commitment and aims to offer research and training opportunities to faculty members and students in the fields of physics, engineering, computer science, and mathematics. The lab, led by Associate Professor Mayank Shrivastava, will focus on advanced quantum technologies.

The memorandum of understanding was exchanged between Balajee Sowrirajan, CVP & MD at SSIR, and Govindan Rangarajan, Director of IISc. The lab is expected to become a center for technological innovation, manpower training, and collaboration with national and international quantum research institutions. By focusing on the development of indigenous quantum technologies, it will contribute significantly to the growth of the local industry and elevate India’s research innovations on the global stage.

The partnership between SSIR and IISc aims to drive breakthroughs in quantum technologies by empowering a skilled workforce, promoting collaborative innovation, strengthening national competitiveness, and transforming industries with a significant societal impact. The establishment of the Quantum Technology Lab will provide students with unparalleled opportunities for hands-on training, research experience, and skill development in quantum technologies, enhancing their employability and career prospects.

Moreover, the lab’s state-of-the-art infrastructure, collaborative environment, and access to cutting-edge resources will benefit researchers and scientists engaged in quantum research. It will enable them to push the boundaries of knowledge and make significant contributions to the field. Additionally, the lab will also support faculty members from other colleges and institutions who are unable to engage in capital-intensive research.

Prof. Govindan Rangarajan from IISc emphasized the importance of this partnership, stating that IISc has become a leading hub for quantum technologies research. The establishment of the Quantum Technology Lab will further strengthen the institute’s infrastructure and expertise, providing students and researchers with a unique opportunity to explore the limitless possibilities of quantum technologies.

The lab’s research efforts will focus on integrating cryogenic control chips with qubits, single photon sources, and detectors to address reliability challenges in quantum technologies. It will foster interdisciplinary research, industry collaborations, and the exchange of knowledge, creating a dynamic ecosystem for innovation. The lab’s impact will extend beyond scientific advancements to empower India to compete globally and utilize the power of quantum technologies for socio-economic growth.
