Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is a world leader in quantum technologies. On 27 January 2022, scientists from the two premier laboratories of Department of Space (DOS), Space Applications Centre (SAC) and Physical Research Laboratory (PRL), both
from the city of Ahmedabad, have jointly demonstrated quantum entanglement based real time Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) over 300m atmospheric channel along with quantum-secure text, image transmission and quantum-assisted two-way video calling. With these
developments, ISRO is getting ready for satellite based demonstrations of fundamental quantum mechanics experiments as well as quantum communication for future-proof data security. More details at

A new era of India-UK tech co-operation has begun. Recognising the increasing role of technology in national security and economic development, the Prime Ministers of India and the United Kingdom are launching a new ‘Technology Security Initiative’ (TSI) to
elevate the strategic partnership between the 2 countries to the next level. The TSI builds upon the ambitious bilateral cooperation agenda set out in the India-UK Roadmap 2030, and will bring into sharper focus collaboration in critical and emerging technologies
(CET) across priority sectors. It will reinforce existing collaborative efforts in various technologies, broaden the mandates of existing mechanisms, and establish new mechanisms for cooperation.</div>

This year also commemorates the 100th anniversary of S.N. Bose's pioneering work in quantum mechanics. Satyendra Nath Bose was one of the founding fathers of quantum mechanics. His pioneering work on quantum statistics has paved the way for development of modern
quantum technologies including Bose-Einstein condensation, quantum superconductivity, and quantum information theory. </div>
