IIIT Hyderabad ties up with Synergy Quantum, to set up lab

The lab’s primary research focus will be on quantum communication technologies, particularly in the areas of post-quantum encryption, quantum key distribution, quantum random number generators, and quantum sensing, including quantum navigation.  

International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad (IIITH) has collaborated with Synergy Quantum India (SQ India) to establish the Synergy Quantum Solution Lab (SQSL@IIITH). According to an official statement, the primary objective of the partnership is to create economically viable quantum technologies and explore their potential applications in military and civilian domains. The lab’s primary research focus will be on quantum communication technologies, particularly in the areas of post-quantum encryption, quantum key distribution, quantum random number generators, and quantum sensing, including quantum navigation.  

As per PJ Narayanan, Director, IIIT Hyderabad, “The addition of the Quantum Solution Lab represents a significant expansion of the institute’s research capabilities and further enhances its status as a research translation lab. The prospect of developing quantum solutions for defence and other sectors through this collaboration has generated great enthusiasm. IIITH has one of the most extensive quantum computing research groups in the country.”  

The Synergy Quantum Solution Lab aims to hire full-time engineers who will collaborate with academicians and research students. Business development managers will also be part of the team, and their collective effort will focus on conducting professional translational research, development, and commercialisation of quantum solutions, the statement read.
