High Performance Programmable Simulation Framework for Quantum Network / Internet Communication

The objective of the project is to develop a framework to simulate quantum communication networks on high-performance classical computing systems. 

The framework shall allow the users to model and design protocols for quantum communication networks. It can be used to study the behavior of the quantum channels with different network elements. It shall offer mechanisms for synchronization between the network elements. It can be used to study the effects of multiple entities, channel length, etc.

MAQAN (Metro Area Quantum Access Network)

  • Metro Area Quantum Access Network is a collaborative MeitY-funded project between IIT Madras, C-DAC Bangalore, ERNET, and SETS Chennai.
  • The project aims to demonstrate a last-mile quantum network testbed in Chennai based on CoW and DPS protocols.
  • The project aims to develop indigenous hardware, firmware, and software for deployment over MAQAN.

Quantum Accelerator Project

  • The Quantum Accelerator Project aims to prepare our country for the quantum revolution by providing a quantum ecosystem for the large technical workforce of the country.
  • The project aims to develop state-of-the-art Quantum Accelerators by integrating specialized accelerator cards with HPC nodes, enabling the execution of complex computational tasks far exceeding the capabilities of existing quantum simulators.
  • Building on India’s proven strengths in the IT and software development sectors, these Quantum Accelerators were envisioned as a powerful platform for students, researchers, software developers, and start-ups to experiment, innovate, and bring their quantum computing ideas to life, fostering cutting-edge research, accelerating technology adoption, and driving indigenous advancements in the quantum domain.
