India must train quantum engineers to turn research into reality: Bhowmick

Bengaluru, Oct 15 (UNI) India's ambition to emerge as a global force in quantum technology will depend not only on advances in quantum computing but also on developing engineers with practical expertise to translate research into working systems, Arup Bhowmick, Assistant Professor-Research at Manipal Institute of Technology, Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), has said. In an interview with UNI, Bhowmick highlighted the importance of hands-on training in quantum technology, particularly as researchers and engineers work to bridge the gap between theoretical understanding and the practical challenges of building and operating quantum systems. Quantum technology combines principles of physics with…
