The convergence of Quantum with AI

Indian Institute of Science (IISc)

The Indian Institute of Science is a research university in Bengaluru rather than a company, and its quantum efforts are spread across departments and centres instead of a single commercial programme. Groups there work on superconducting qubit design, fabrication and control, alongside quantum information theory, quantum sensing and cryogenic measurement. Its role in the field is mainly as a publicly funded academic and talent hub, and it participates in India's National Quantum Mission.

IBM Expands Research Collaborations with IISc and IIT Bombay to Advance Quantum-Centric Supercomputing and Sovereign AI

IBM is broadening research ties with the Indian Institute of Science and IIT Bombay. The collaborations will explore quantum-centric supercomputing, hybrid classical-quantum systems, AI for energy and scientific workloads, and tuning large language models for Indian languages. The stated goal is to bring advanced quantum and AI software efforts into closer alignment.

OutlookPlausible

Within two years, these partnerships could produce hybrid quantum-classical workflows for fine-tuning or optimizing Indic-language large language models on IBM's quantum-centric infrastructure.
