Title: A multi node quantum repeater network for entanglement distribution based quantum communication

Principal Investigator: Dr. Raghavan K . Easwaran

Duration: 6 years (2024 - 2031)

Funding Agency: National Quantum Mission, DST, Govt of India

Value: 10.9833 Crores

This project is part of a landmark initiative under the National Quantum Mission, aimed at the cutting-edge development of Cold Atom-based Quantum Memory units for multi-node Quantum Repeater network. Project is collaborated with leading experts from premier Indian institutions, including RRI Bengaluru, IIT Tirupati, HRI Prayagraj, IISER Mohali, as well as with our Mission HUB located at IIT Madras, Chennai. Collaborations also extend to our industrial partners in India and abroad as well.
