Weeks after the Raman Research Institute (RRI) in Bengaluru demonstrated a breakthrough in Indian quantum communication by making a transmission from a stationary object to a moving one, an agreement has been signed with the Navys Weapons and Electronics Systems Engineering Establishment (WESEE). The MoU, which will last for five years, was signed in New Delhi last week by RRI director Tarun Souradeep and Vice-Admiral Sandeep Naithani.

The director said that the Indian science and technology ecosystem in recent years is enabling talented and world-class researchers in academic research institutions to contribute to the growth of science and technology capabilities in strategic areas of national importance. Porosity of the perceived boundary between fundamental and applied sciences as well as science and technology will bode well in the coming decades. RRI feels proud to partner with WESEE in cutting edge Science and Technology, Souradeep said.

Professor Urbasi Sinha, group head of the Quantum Information and Computing Lab at RRI, said that the laboratory would be able to foster cutting edge research in order to identify maritime use-cases for the Navy.

The lab had earlier demonstrated transmission of quantum keys between stationary points in 2021. The idea is to transmit quantum keys in order to secure transmissions, as normal keys are protected by mathematical complexity which could be broken by advances in quantum computing. On the other hand, quantum entangled particles are particles which continue to show similar properties apart from each other.
