Quantum Error Correction ( ) is where the race to fault-tolerant quantum computing is being decided. Every other layer of the stack- hardware, algorithms and applications ultimately depends on progress at this level. India is among a small group of countries with indigenous capability in QEC, which is significant both for scientific leadership and strategic autonomy.

We hosted a working conversation on the state of QEC in 2026, led by Vinayak Godse, CEO, DSCI, with Dr Nagendra Nagaraja and Dr. Amlan Mukherjee, PhD from QpiAI. The discussion covered the coherence time constraints that make real-time decoding essential, QpiAI’s reported 40–60x reduction in decoder latency, the shift from surface codes to quantum LDPC codes, and the increasing need for co-design across QPU, decoder, and control systems.

More discussions to follow.

On , it is easy to focus on the breakthroughs that make it into headlines - the milestones, the announcements, the moments that feel like turning points. But much of what shapes quantum today happens away from the spotlight.

It is built through sustained work in labs and research environments, where ideas are tested, challenged, and often reworked from the ground up. Each step adds clarity, even when the path is not immediately defined.

At the , quantum startups are working in this space every day. For them, quantum is not an abstract frontier, but something that must eventually be engineered, validated, and made usable in the real world. This demands revisiting fundamentals, refining assumptions, and continuously sharpening direction.

What stands out is the commitment behind this work. Even without certainty of outcomes, there is a steady effort to keep building, learning and moving forward.

We recognize and celebrate the effort, persistence and intent they bring to this journey. To know more about the startups and their work, visit https://www.n-coe.in/

Every breakthrough starts with a question.

In quantum science, it also starts with observation.

On , it’s worth stepping back to look at how far the field has come and where it’s headed.

What began as a set of fundamental questions in the early 20th century now underpins much of today’s technological progress. Quantum mechanics is no longer abstract; it is part of the foundation of the modern world.

We are now moving into a new phase -one focused on applying quantum principles at scale.

Quantum computing, sensing, communication and quantum-safe cryptography are all progressing steadily. These are active areas of research, investment and policy focus globally.

At DSCI and the National CoE, we see this as part of a broader shift from understanding quantum systems to engineering them for real-world impact.
That makes this an important moment, not just to track progress, but to build capability, collaboration and long-term readiness.

On this World Quantum Day, we recognize the scientists, engineers and institutions contributing to this evolving ecosystem.

The quantum conversation in has largely moved beyond awareness. Leaders recognise the emerging risks and understand that standards are evolving. The next step is gaining a clearer picture of their own cryptographic estate which algorithms, which systems, which data along with a structured way to prioritise what needs to change first.

That’s the work this workshop is designed to help you get started on.

DSCI’s Quantum Resiliency for BFSI is a one-day, hands-on workshop for senior security and technology leaders in banking, financial services, insurance and more.

Date: 28 May 2026
Time: 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM (IST)
Venue: The Westin Mumbai Powai Lake
Registration Link: https://lnkd.in/g3ks9xfv

Not another awareness session, but a working day focused on translating understanding into practical next steps.

The day is structured across four modules:
- The quantum threat landscape and what it means for India’s BFSI sector
- Post-quantum cryptography standards
- Building a Cryptographic Bill of Materials (CBOM) for your organisation
- Conducting a Quantum Risk Assessment (QRA)

You’ll come away with a clearer view of your cryptographic estate, an initial risk perspective, and a starting point for planning next steps.

If you’re part of a security, technology, or risk function in BFSI, this is a practical way to begin that journey.

World Quantum Day is observed globally on April 14 each year, with the aim of increasing public awareness and understanding of quantum science and quantum technologies.

As we approach April 14, we are taking a moment to reflect on how quickly quantum has moved from theory to something that is actively shaping real-world conversations in computing, communication, sensing, and security.

To mark the countdown, we are building a series of focused engagements designed to make quantum more accessible and grounded in practice:

- Webinars to explore where the field stands today
- Cohorts to build structured learning journeys
- Workshops to connect concepts with real applications
- Certifications to support applied understanding

The intent is simple: move beyond buzzwords and create space for clear, informed engagement with quantum science.

Quantum Error Correction in 2026: Progress, Limits and the OS Question

Date:15 April 2026
Time: 5:00 PM – 5:30 PM

Registrations Open : https://lnkd.in/gd-tp5wX

As part of marking , we are hosting a conversation on where quantum error correction actually stands today, beyond the headlines.

Quantum computing has crossed an important threshold. We are now seeing experimental demonstrations that logical error rates can be pushed below physical ones. It is a meaningful step, but far from the finish line.
Because moving from proof to practice is where the real challenge begins: scaling systems, managing overheads, and navigating competing architectures that are still taking shape. As these systems evolve, deeper questions are beginning to surface.

Not just about whether fault tolerance is achievable, but about how the broader quantum computing stack will take shape and who will define and control it as the technology matures.

Bringing perspectives on these developments, we are joined by:
Speakers
Vinayak Godse, CEO, DSCI
Teja Chintalapati, Principal Manager – Cyber Innovation, DSCI
Dr. Nagendra Nagaraja, Founder, CEO & Chairman, QpiAI

A closer look at where things stand today and what it will take to move from early demonstrations to practical, scalable quantum systems.

AI is no longer a future consideration for India’s cybersecurity ecosystem. It is a present-tense disruption, and founders are navigating it in real time.
Today, we convened a closed-door dialogue at the DSCI office, bringing together 35+ founders from India’s cybersecurity product ecosystem both in person and virtually for an honest conversation on what this shift truly demands.

The starting point was simple: using AI versus not using AI is no longer purely a cost decision. The deeper question is whether founders understand what AI-native cybersecurity models are building and whether their own products are being developed to respond.

From there, the conversation moved into harder territory.

The economics are already shifting. AI is replacing agent-based functions, and development and production costs are being restructured across the board. Companies are actively using AI agents in their workflows, but the consensus was that adoption depth varies widely. The gap between those experimenting and those truly integrating is growing.

The competitive landscape is more complex than it appears. It is not just about AI-native startups entering the market. Every stakeholder vector is in motion simultaneously; buyers are changing how they evaluate and procure, service companies are using AI to reimagine delivery and established players are expanding their product portfolios across multiple problem spaces. The threat is not coming from one direction; it is coming from all of them.

This brings up a question every founder in the room had to sit with: what is the differentiator now?

A pointed question was also raised: are India’s cybersecurity founders fully leveraging what today’s AI already makes possible including capabilities like large context windows? The framing was direct: if you do not understand the AI of today, you will be unprepared for what comes next.

And what comes next matters enormously. AGI is not a distant abstraction; its implications for the cybersecurity industry need to be on every founder’s roadmap today. As AI systems become more autonomous, questions of verifiability, accountability and trust will define the next frontier of the industry.

The dialogue continues. The action points are just beginning.

AI is entering a phase where cybersecurity may become one of its most immediate and high-impact domains of application.

Recent signals suggest we are moving towards a world where AI systems can identify and exploit vulnerabilities at a speed and scale that significantly challenges traditional security approaches. At the same time, global markets are already reacting, reflecting uncertainty around how cybersecurity products will evolve in this shift.

For India’s cybersecurity product ecosystem, now at a stage of critical mass and early scale, this raises important questions around product relevance, defense and the next phase of opportunity creation.

We are hosting a closed-door, founder-only dialogue to explore what this shift means for the ecosystem.

Topic: AI Disruption in Cybersecurity: Implications for India’s Product Ecosystem

Date: 1 April 2026
Time: 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM
Hybrid Format | DSCI Office, New Delhi

This is a founder-focused discussion to exchange perspectives on how AI is reshaping cybersecurity and what it means for building and scaling security products from India.
