The State authorities has deepened its worldwide scientific engagement with ETH Zurich — one of many world’s main establishments in quantum science and know-how — by a go to to the ETH Quantum Center and an invite for its management to take part within the Quantum India Summit 2026 in Bengaluru.
During his go to, N.S. Boseraju, Minister for Science and Technology and Minor Irrigation, met Andreas Wallraff, Jonathan Home, and Klaus Ensslin, administrators of the ETH Quantum Center.
The professors have been pioneering analysis in superconducting qubits and trapped ion methods for over 20 years, in keeping with a launch from the Minister’s workplace.
The Minister prolonged a private invitation to Prof. Wallraff, broadly thought to be a worldwide trailblazer in quantum computing, to attend and contribute to the following version of Quantum India Bengaluru.
“ETH Zurich stands among the many birthplaces of recent quantum computing — the place the world’s foundational analysis in quantum science advanced into actual, working know-how. It is a privilege to attach Karnataka’s rising quantum ecosystem with such world-class experience,” stated Mr. Boseraju.
The Karnataka delegation toured the superconducting qubit labs and trapped ion labs, gaining insights into how the ETH Quantum Center coordinates analysis throughout Switzerland by a collaborative mannequin. The Minister famous that Karnataka will draw inspiration from ETH’s strategy to anchor the same construction in Bengaluru below the Q-City initiative, enabling joint analysis and innovation throughout establishments in Karnataka and India.
The ETH group additionally demonstrated how applied sciences from these labs have efficiently advanced into thriving quantum start-ups. The delegation visited Zurich Instruments, a spin-off from ETH Zurich that manufactures precision amplifiers and sign methods for quantum computer systems the world over, together with India.
The Minister acknowledged that: “The Q-City Bengaluru will set up comparable infrastructure to nurture quantum {hardware} growth and assist global-scale start-ups rising from Karnataka’s rising innovation ecosystem”.
