Can Quantum Computers Multiply Research Capabilities Overnight?

India should strive to occupy the AI-for-enterprise space, which will help in areas like drug discovery and bring down research times and prices, Ajai Chowdhry, the Chairman National Quantum Mission of India's Mission Governing Board, said. Chowdhry also introduced quantum mechanics-based computing, which he introduced as "spooky physics", and said, "This whole technology is based on quantum mechanics." This, he said, would add to current computing capabilities driving Artificial Intelligence and "provide phenomenal capability to do things we could not till now.... by classical computers". "If we look at AI there has been a lot of talk about India being far behind in terms of LLMs, i.e., large language models. Now LLMs fundamentally use data that can be hugely taken from India or, and in addition, LLMs are fundamentally addressing consumer market, in a very big way.
