Activities
At the heart of the Quantum Technology Club lies the drive to push the boundaries of conventional
computing and communication by:
- Fostering awareness and foundational knowledge of quantum mechanics and its
applications. - Promoting interdisciplinary collaboration across physics, electronics, computer science, and
space science. - Exploring the role of quantum technologies in advancing India’s space capabilities.
Our Focus Areas
- Quantum Computing
- Quantum Communication
- Quantum Sensing and Metrology
- Quantum Cryptography
- Applications of Quantum Physics in Space Research
Since its inception, the club has taken confident strides toward creating a quantum-aware
academic environment:
- Workshops & Seminars: Regular technical sessions, hands-on workshops, and guest
lectures by researchers from premier institutes and industries. - Project-Based Learning: Encouraging student-led projects that tackle real-world
problems through quantum solutions. - Academic Outreach: Representing the club’s vision and progress before the NAAC
peer review team, showcasing its integration within IIST’s broader academic mission.
Looking ahead, the Quantum Technology Club aspires to:
- Collaborate with institutions like ISRO, DRDO, and QuEST (Quantum Enabled
Science and Technology mission). - Facilitate research opportunities and internships in partnership with national and
international quantum research labs. - Host an annual Quantum Conclave to bring together students, scientists, and
industry leaders under one roof.
In its first major initiative, the Quantum Technology Club conducted a foundational course titled "Quantum Computing 0→1", designed specifically for beginners to demystify the exciting world of quantum technologies. The course aimed to spread awareness and build a strong conceptual foundation among students across disciplines.
Throughout the course, participants engaged in hands-on sessions using cutting-edge platforms such as PennyLane and Qiskit, gaining exposure to quantum algorithms, qubit operations, and basic quantum circuits. The sessions were carefully curated to strike a balance between theory and
application, making the learning journey engaging and accessible.
In addition to the technical sessions, the club also organized lab visits, offering students a glimpse into practical setups and ongoing research inquantum-related domains. These visits served to bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world applications, inspiring participants to pursue deeper involvement in the field.
