The State authorities has deepened its worldwide scientific engagement with ETH Zurich — one of many world’s main establishments in quantum science and expertise — by means of a go to to the ETH Quantum Center and an invite for its management to take part in 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 accordance to a launch from the Minister’s workplace.
The Minister prolonged a private invitation to Prof. Wallraff, broadly considered a world trailblazer in quantum computing, to attend and contribute to the next version of Quantum India Bengaluru.
“ETH Zurich stands among the birthplaces of modern quantum computing — where the world’s foundational research in quantum science evolved into real, working technology. It is a privilege to connect Karnataka’s emerging quantum ecosystem with such world-class expertise,” 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 means of a collaborative mannequin. The Minister famous that Karnataka will draw inspiration from ETH’s strategy to anchor an identical construction in Bengaluru below the Q-City initiative, enabling joint analysis and innovation throughout establishments in Karnataka and India.
The ETH workforce additionally demonstrated how applied sciences from these labs have efficiently developed 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 establish comparable infrastructure to nurture quantum hardware development and support global-scale start-ups emerging from Karnataka’s growing innovation ecosystem”.
