The story of quantum computing is intricately linked to India. It can be traced back to the legacy of Satyendra Nath Bose, the Indian theoretical physicist renowned for his work on quantum mechanics, and pioneer of quantum statistics and condensed matter physics. He wrote the last of the four publications that led to the foundation of quantum mechanics.

​His paper was published in 1924. S N Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences in Kolkata is celebrating 100 years of publication of Bose’s paper. What a charming coincidence that a century later, the world’s greatest tech companies are vying for a share of the quantum computing pie, and nations are evolving strategies for quantum technologies!

Grover’s algorithm: Another major contribution came from the work of Lov Kumar Grover, an Indian-American computer scientist. He is credited as the creator of the Grover database search algorithm, a pivotal advancement in quantum computing. Grover’s algorithm, introduced in 1996, gained widespread recognition as the second major algorithm proposed for quantum computing.
​
What’s quantum: Quantum computing leverages principles from quantum mechanics to resolve intricate problems at accelerated rates, as compared to classical computers. Both hardware research and application development play crucial roles in quantum computing.
