00:00We are now in the world of quantum computers.
00:03We are now in the SRM University campus.
00:08We are also in the world of quantum computers.
00:13We are also in the world of Qubit Force.
00:18We are also in the world of Qubit Force CEO.
00:21Hello.
00:21Hello.
00:30So, all our current computers, mobile phone, laptop, super computer, they are all binary.
00:40Bits, 0 and 1.
00:42That's all they work on.
00:43Quantum computer works on Qubits.
00:47Bits, Qubits.
00:48Bits, only 0 and 1.
00:50Qubits can be both 0 and 1 simultaneously.
00:54They can take multiple states.
00:56And they can also be connected.
00:58Which makes them very, very powerful.
01:01So, if you want to make medicines.
01:04If you want to do modeling of climate.
01:07You want to do modeling of cyclones for weather prediction.
01:12All of these tasks can be shortened from several days or impossible in fact to do on a classical computer.
01:20You can do that on a quantum computer.
01:23You can do that on a quantum computer.
01:26What are the parts available?
01:29Can you explain that and show it?
01:31Yes, surely.
01:32So, this quantum computer right here behind me that you see here.
01:37It is still being constructed.
01:39We are for the first time putting together a quantum computer in full public view.
01:44Anybody can come and see this.
01:46And this is happening for the first time.
01:49In a quantum computer you have.
01:51This is the dilution fridge.
01:54Okay.
01:54This dilution fridge takes the temperature down to 10 millikelvin.
02:01Okay.
02:01Lower than the average temperature of the universe.
02:04Cooler than it is in the universe.
02:07Okay.
02:08And the processor is placed here.
02:10Right at the bottom.
02:12And then the processor is controlled via a control system which will come here.
02:16And this to cool this you need the gas handling.
02:19Which is helium-3 and helium-4.
02:22So, these gases are placed here.
02:25And those gases come into this chamber to cool down this refrigerator or the dilution fridge.
02:38It will be connected through the cloud to your laptop.
02:42Okay.
02:43So, you don't have to come here to use this computer.
02:46You can actually use it from anywhere.
02:48What are the features of quantum computers in Andhra Pradesh?
02:51I think this is the first state in our country.
02:55So, there are all kinds of things.
02:56So, Honorable Chief Minister Chandra Babu Naidur, sir, has provided the speed and the vision.
03:05Only last year it started.
03:07Yes.
03:07May 2nd, I remember.
03:09I was also there in Amravathi for the launch.
03:13And not even one year.
03:14And we are already building India's first quantum reference system.
03:20Okay.
03:20It's not happened anywhere else.
03:222 lakh students have already been trained in Andhra Pradesh.
03:28This is a university, SRM University.
03:31SRM University has taken the lead.
03:33Now, it is one of the first universities in the country to actually have a quantum computer,
03:39which is open to all their students.
03:41Okay.
03:53It will be included in normal B.Tech course.
03:57Okay.
03:57It will also be included in the normal B.Sc courses also.
04:01Okay.
04:02In fact, Chief Minister, sir, wants it included in commerce and management courses also.
04:08Okay.
04:08So, he wants that every person in Andhra has some level of understanding.
04:15They don't have to come and make a quantum computer.
04:18But they should know what it is.
04:20They should know how to use it.
04:222 lakh students are trying to train.
04:26They should know how to use it.
04:27They should know how to use it.
04:28They should know how to use it.
04:28They should know how to use it.
04:29This was online.
04:30But online also, there were teachers who were answering questions.
04:35So, if a student...
04:36I am doing online course on my laptop.
04:39If I have a question, I can ask that question to the instructor.
04:43And the instructor would answer those questions.
04:47So, in some level of interactivity was there.
04:49Also, there was an NPTEL program.
04:52In that NPTEL program, there are 2 gold medalists and 11 silver medalists from the state.
05:00They are also invited.
05:13In terms of talent, we are already up there.
05:17Very, very good.
05:18In terms of facilities, one of the requirements is to have test beds like this.
05:25Where students, start-ups, faculty, industry, they can all come and start producing these components in India.
05:35So, that requirement now, such facilities are maybe there, I don't know in how many countries.
05:42Maybe 5, maybe 6.
05:44We are now one of those countries, which have a test bed like this.
05:49Very soon, the IBM computer will also land here.
05:52You know, as you know, the Chief Minister has already announced that.
05:56So, already, Amaravati has become a leading hub in the world.
06:02And the goal of the Chief Minister is that Amaravati Quantum Valley becomes the leading technology hub in the world.
06:10First, we are doing a computer, okay?
06:13So, what are the next stages?
06:14How do we expand our plans?
06:28We need to be the people who supply all the components of a quantum computer to the world.
06:35That is the vision.
06:36And here, this, we are starting with a processor here, made in India processor, which is made in TIFR and
06:44IASC.
06:45So, that processor, we will start with a few qubits and this can have up to 100 qubits, can be
06:54put here in this.
06:55So, as we make more and bigger and bigger processors in India, our goal is to keep bringing them here,
07:02testing them in this facility and improving the quality so that it becomes world class.
07:08And so that we are able to not only processor, but these plates, they are already made in India.
07:15These plates are all made in India.
07:17But, as we start making these things, we will become the leaders in terms of the future advancements in these.
07:27You know, what are the innovations that we need to bring in this technology, in this technology.
07:33Because now we have it in front of us. Our students, our researchers can work on it and create world
07:39class.
07:40But the answer, the simple answer is, India has to make quantum computers and produce for the world.
08:03So, this quantum computer is one of the least expensive quantum computers in the world today.
08:10You will not find a cheaper quantum computer than this.
08:13And you will not find a quantum computer which is open like this and which people, which students can work
08:20on,
08:20which anybody who is walking around can start coming and working on.
08:25Okay. The cost of such computers, I will tell you, starts from as low as 2 crores.
08:33Okay. To anywhere between 10 to 20 to 30 crores, depending on what all features you want in the quantum
08:41computer.
08:42Okay. But as I said, there is no other country which can make computers at the cost that we are
08:49making at this point of time.
08:50So, this one is about 10 crores.
08:5210 crores.
08:53Yes, sir.
09:22Yes, sir.
09:23Yes, sir.
09:23I have told you that the first thing is,
09:24I have told you I have told you the first thing.
09:25In the past, I have told you that this kind of quantum computer is a big quantum computer.
09:30It is a big quantum computer.
09:31I have told you about it.
09:33I have told you about it.
09:35It is a big talk.
09:38We'll see you next time.
