"Meeting with NQM, MeitY C-MET and IIT Delhi Quantum hub officials"

🚀 Pushing the Frontiers of Quantum Materials in India On 24th July 2025, the Quantum Materials and Devices (QMD) Foundation Team under leadership of Prof. Rajendra Singh—the Quantum Hub at IIT Delhi under the National Quantum Mission (NQM)—hosted a high-impact brainstorming session with the leadership from Centre for Materials for Electronics Technology (C-MET), spearheaded by Dr. Ratheesh (Director General, C-MET), along with Shri Manoj Kumar Jain and other key representatives from Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and Department of Science and Technology (DST) led by Dr. JBV Reddy (Mission Director, NQM). 🔬 The discussions from QMD – IIT Delhi, led by Prof. Samaresh Das, alongside Dr. Shiv Kumar and Dr. TEJAS NAIK, focused on aligning India’s cutting-edge quantum materials ecosystem with the strategic vision of the National Quantum Mission. Dr. Ratheesh, Dr. Ranjit Hawaldar & Dr. RANJIT KASHID from CMET highlighted the expertise at C-MET w.r.t. to the quantum materials. 🧪 Dr. Ranjit Hawaldar and Dr. Ratheesh delivered insightful presentations outlining C-MET’s core competencies in: Ultra-high purity (7N) Cd, Zn, Te, Ge, Ga materials Diamond, h-BN, SiC, ZnTe, MoS₂, and Kramers nodal line materials CVD/MPVD/ALD infrastructure for 2D quantum materials Diamond substrates for NV-centers & quantum sensing Advanced waveguide technologies, MEMS, and dielectric resonators Scalable substrate-integrated RF & MW devices 🌐 The session emphasized how C-MET’s capabilities in materials synthesis, high-purity crystal growth, and device-level innovations can significantly accelerate the mission goals of NQM, especially in quantum sensors, communications, and qubits for quantum computing. 🧭 With active involvement from DST and MeitY, this collaboration signals a strong public research and innovation push for deep tech. 🧠 The convergence of academia, R&D labs, and government mission teams is a model for driving quantum innovation from lab to fab in India. #QuantumIndia #NationalQuantumMission #CMET #IITDelhi #MeitY #DSTIndia #DST #DeepTechIndia #QuantumMaterials #Qubits #Semiconductors #MaterialsScience #R&DIndia #HigherEducation #QuantumComputing #ScienceForNation #MakeInIndia #QuantumFuture #QuantumSensing #QuantumCommunication #RajendraSingh Samaresh Das Dr. JBV Reddy Shiv Kumar
