Guest talk on Quantum Computation
The Department of Applied Sciences hosted a guest talk on “Quantum Computation” for second-semester students on April 16, 2025, conducted in offline mode by Dr. Tribikam Gupta, Professor and Coordinator for COE on Quantum Computation, Department of Physics, RVCE Bengaluru. Quantum computing is gaining momentum, evident in the rise of promising startups, yet keeping up with key technical advancements remains challenging. While progress in quantum computing and related technologies has been remarkable, achieving a general-purpose quantum computer capable of handling large-scale tasks, like prime number factorization, still faces significant hurdles. Quantum computing is advancing toward practical applications and continues to uncover new physics discoveries. Dr. Gupta emphasized technological advancements, self-reliance in the quantum domain, the National Quantum Mission, quantum startups, innovation hubs, and commercial applications. He discussed the technical details of quantum complexity and highlighted the groundbreaking steps in building super-fast quantum computers. These advancements could potentially transform daily life in this century as profoundly as classical computers did in the last.
