His research demonstrates how near-term quantum computers can solve complex scheduling and routing problems more efficiently than classical algorithms.\n\nMeera Patel won the Best Poster Award for her presentation on 'Machine Learning-Assisted Quantum Error Correction,' part of the research group led by Dr. Sarah Chen. Her work uses classical machine learning to improve the speed and accuracy of quantum error decoding.\n\nAmit Kumar received honorable mention for his paper on 'Quantum Entanglement in Photonic Systems,' conducted under the supervision of Dr. Priya Krishnan. His experimental results show novel ways to generate and manipulate entangled photon pairs for quantum communication.\n\n'We are immensely proud of our students' achievements,' says the CQT Director. 'Their success reflects the high quality of research and mentorship at our institute.'\n\nThe AQIS conference is one of the premier venues for quantum information science in the Asia-Pacific region, attracting over 500 participants from leading universities and research institutions. The recognition of CQT students highlights the institute's growing reputation in the global quantum community.\n\nAll three students will present their work at the upcoming International Quantum Technologies Workshop 2025 hosted by CQT in March.",

    "content": "The Centre for Quantum Technology's quantum sensing team has successfully completed field trials of their portable quantum gravimeter in Rajasthan, demonstrating the technology's capability to detect underground water resources with unprecedented precision.\n\nThe two-week field campaign, led by Dr. Anita Desai, deployed the gravimeter at five locations across Rajasthan's arid regions. The quantum sensor, which uses laser-cooled atoms to measure minute variations in Earth's gravitational field, successfully identified underground aquifers and mapped their extent.\n\n'The sensitivity of our quantum gravimeter allows us to detect water resources at depths and resolutions impossible with conventional methods,' explains Dr. Desai. 'This technology could revolutionize how we manage water resources in water-scarce regions.'\n\nThe gravimeter achieved a sensitivity of 5 microGal (μGal) in field conditions—equivalent to detecting a mass change of about 10 kilograms at a distance of 100 meters. This sensitivity is sufficient to map underground water flows, detect mineral deposits, and monitor subsurface changes over time.\n\nThe trials were conducted in collaboration with the Geological Survey of India and the Rajasthan Department of Water Resources. Based on the successful results, plans are underway to deploy quantum gravimeters for systematic water resource mapping across western India.\n\n'This is an excellent example of how fundamental quantum research translates into practical solutions for societal challenges,' notes the project coordinator. 'Water security is a critical issue, and quantum technology can help us address it more effectively.'\n\nThe quantum gravimeter project is funded by the Department of Space with ₹3 crore and is part of India's broader quantum technology initiative.",

This collaboration represents one of the first commercial applications of quantum ML in the healthcare sector.\n\nUnder the three-year agreement, CQT's Quantum Machine Learning team, led by Dr. Arjun Mehta, will develop specialized quantum algorithms to screen millions of molecular compounds and identify promising drug candidates. The quantum approach is expected to reduce the time and cost of early-stage drug discovery by up to 40%.\n\n'Quantum computers can explore vast chemical spaces more efficiently than classical computers,' explains Dr. Mehta. 'Our variational quantum algorithms can predict molecular properties and binding affinities with remarkable accuracy, even on today's noisy quantum devices.'\n\nThe partnership will focus initially on identifying compounds for treating antibiotic-resistant infections, a global health priority. The pharmaceutical partner will provide access to their extensive chemical libraries and biological assay data, while CQT contributes quantum algorithms and computational resources.\n\nThe project will run on both quantum simulators and real quantum hardware provided by IBM and Google. Early results have already shown promising performance, with the quantum ML models matching or exceeding the accuracy of state-of-the-art classical methods while using significantly less computational time.\n\n'This collaboration demonstrates the practical value of quantum computing in addressing real-world challenges,' says the CQT Director. 'We're excited to contribute to accelerating the development of life-saving medications.'\n\nThe partnership includes provisions for joint publications, IP sharing, and potential licensing of the quantum ML platform to other pharmaceutical and biotech companies.",

Urban Research Lab

The Urban Research Lab (URL) at IIIT-Delhi was established in 2020, during a time when the pandemic brought the complexities of urban life more visible than ever. What started as an initiative by faculty and students has grown into a collaborative space for critically exploring and reimagining the urban questions through research, dialogue, and interdisciplinary engagement.
