Quantum Computing Breakthrough: IIT Madras Achieves 50-Qubit Milestone

Scientists at IIT Madras have achieved a major breakthrough in quantum computing, successfully demonstrating a 50-qubit quantum processor that maintains coherence for record-breaking durations. This milestone places India among the top five nations in the global quantum computing race.

Technical Achievement

The processor, developed over four years with funding from the Ministry of Electronics and IT, achieved quantum supremacy in solving complex optimization problems that would take classical supercomputers thousands of years to complete.
