Quantum information science

Prantosh Paul, D. Chatterjee, Anil Bhuimali

Quantum information science (QIS) is a combination of quantum science (which combines radio physics, condensed physics, and electronics) and information science (which combines computer science, information technology, mathematics, information studies, and documentation studies). Quantum information science (QIS) is actually an extension of quantum computing. Quantum information science (QIS) is mistakenly taken as quantum information theory, but it has several differences with this. Quantum information science (QIS) is mainly responsible for improved and faster acquisition, transmission, and processing of information. The 20th century is marked by three monumental achievements, namely, computer science, quantum physics, and information theory, which have not only stunned the civilized world but also ushered into a new world – a new paradigm of science and technology.

Quantum Information Science [QIS] is an important interdisciplinary domain with much potential in industry, institution, educational sector, health and medical sector and so on. Quantum Information Science is a result of integration of Quantum Science and Information Science. Quantum Information Science is a new field which is responsible for faster and advanced communication system powered by QBit. Quantum Information Science is a combination of many other domains also. The periphery is increasing day by day. Today's super computer as well as in future computing, Quantum Information Science has great potentials. Academic programmes on Quantum Information Science are still limited than that of its requirement. Thus design and development of academic programme on Quantum Information Science becomes important. This hectic process is to be completed with high quality collaborative educational strategies. This paper illustrates many aspects of Quantum Information Science including role, need, characteristics and especially academic potentials in Indian Universities.
