Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw announces establishment of Advanced Quantum and Artificial Intelligence labs at MNIT Jaipur
- Union MeitY announced setting up an Advanced Quantum Computing & Quantum Communications Lab and an AI Lab at MNIT Jaipur under the Electronics & ICT Academic Project of MeitY.
- Labs target indigenous capability in Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), quantum computing simulation, quantum sensing hardware, plus AI research linked to the IndiaAI Mission network.
- Students will also access Lam Research's Semiverse Semiconductor Training Platform, dovetailing with the India Semiconductor Mission skilling pipeline.
- Sits at the intersection of three flagship pushes: National Quantum Mission (NQM), IndiaAI Mission, and semiconductor self-reliance — examinable as part of the wider "deep-tech sovereignty" theme.
