QNu Labs and SRMIST Establish Quantum Communications Lab to Train Educator Cohort

QNu Labs and SRMIST Establish Quantum Communications Lab to Train Educator Cohort Indian quantum cybersecurity developer QNu Labs has partnered with the SRM Institute of Science and Technology (SRMIST) to establish a dedicated Quantum Communications Lab and train the university’s first certified cohort of faculty members in quantum communications. Supported by India’s National Quantum Mission (NQM) and the Department of Science and Technology (DST), the workforce initiative focuses on training educators to scale quantum communications coursework across higher education institutions. Incubated at the IIT Madras Research Park, QNu Labs equipped the new laboratory at SRMIST’s Kattankulathur campus with deployed, industry-grade hardware—the same quantum-safe technology utilized across national defense and banking infrastructure. Rather than relying on simulated software environments, the facility provides students and academic researchers with physical quantum key distribution (QKD) hardware and quantum-safe infrastructure to build, test, and benchmark real-world cryptographic applications. Through the QNu Academy framework, the initial faculty cohort underwent training and professional certification in quantum communications. By qualifying educators to deliver standardized quantum communications courses, the joint initiative aims to scale quantum education across SRMIST’s academic programs, creating a direct workforce pipeline of industry-ready quantum engineers and security specialists in alignment with national skilling objectives. The inaugural ceremony was attended by Dr. JBV Reddy (Head of the Quantum Technology Cell at NQM), Dr. C. Muthamizhchelvan (Vice Chancellor of SRMIST), Sunil Gupta (CEO and Co-founder of QNu Labs), and representatives from T-Hub. The lab deployment strengthens SRMIST’s quantum research infrastructure alongside its existing physical hardware initiatives under the National Quantum Mission.

QNu Labs Partners with SAGA Consultants to Expand Quantum-Safe Cybersecurity Infrastructure Internationally

QNu Labs Partners with SAGA Consultants to Expand Quantum-Safe Cybersecurity Infrastructure Internationally Indian quantum cybersecurity pioneer QNu Labs has executed a strategic partnership agreement with U.S.-based technology consulting firm SAGA Consultants to accelerate the global distribution and deployment of quantum-safe security solutions. Orchestrated by QNu Labs CEO and Co-Founder Sunil Gupta and SAGA Consultants CEO Shamini Wijay, the commercial framework merges QNu Labs’ proprietary post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and secure communications stack with SAGA Consultants’ enterprise IT consulting networks and AI-powered business transformation pipelines. The alliance is structured to help commercial enterprises, government agencies, and critical infrastructure operators protect sensitive data repositories, satellite communications, and digital assets from emerging decryption threats. The enterprise-wide rollouts specifically target the Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI) sector, where strict regulatory compliance timelines mandate an immediate migration toward quantum-resistant trust anchors. By combining mathematical PQC algorithms with hardware-driven Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) models, the joint architecture provides a hybrid defense matrix. This unified network layout enables financial institutions to replace vulnerable asymmetric encryption primitives with future-ready security frameworks, isolating transaction data pathways from intercept-and-harvest operations without disrupting active day-to-day business operations. The commercial agreement surfaces as QNu Labs—an investee company of India’s National Quantum Mission originally incubated at IIT Madras—continues to expand its multi-national footprint. Operating a specialized engineering corps of 160 physicists, mathematicians, and software developers, the firm has positioned its indigenous, military-grade cryptographic layers across defense, telecom, and utility networks globally.

What Rigetti Computing (RGTI)'s $8.4 Million India Quantum Order Means For Shareholders - Yahoo Financequantum-computing

What Rigetti Computing (RGTI)'s $8.4 Million India Quantum Order Means For Shareholders - Yahoo Finance

What Rigetti Computing (RGTI)'s $8.4 Million India Quantum Order Means For Shareholders Simply Wall St February 23, 2026 3 min read RGTI -0.29% Rigetti Computing previously announced an US$8.4 million order from India’s Centre for Development of Advanced Computing to deliver a 108-qubit quantum computer in Bengaluru, alongside plans to commercially launch its modular Cepheus-1-108Q system by late first quarter 2026. This contract underscores growing international demand for Rigetti’s on-premises quantum hardware and offers an early test of the company’s ability to scale complex systems for real-world research use. We’ll now examine how this Indian 108-qubit system order could influence Rigetti’s investment narrative around system sales and long-term adoption. Capitalize on the AI infrastructure supercycle with our selection of the 34 best 'picks and shovels' of the AI gold rush converting record-breaking demand into massive cash flow. Rigetti Computing Investment Narrative Recap To own Rigetti shares, you need to believe that its chiplet based superconducting roadmap can translate cutting edge hardware into paying system customers before cash burn and execution risk dominate the story. The US$8.4 million C DAC order in India supports that thesis by validating on premises system demand, but it does not change the near term reality of small revenue, high operating losses and reliance on a few large contracts as the key risk and catalyst. The Indian 108 qubit system ties directly into Rigetti’s Cepheus 1 108Q roadmap, which targets commercial launch by late first quarter 2026. That timing sits alongside other catalysts such as the three year US$5.8 million AFRL networking contract and growing Novera deployments, which together could start to shift the mix from mainly research style work toward more recurring system sales and usage based revenue. Yet against the excitement around India’s order, investors should also be aware that...

Faster-Than-Light Photons May Not Break the Rules of Cause and Effect

Scientists are increasingly investigating the implications of superluminal photon propagation arising from the Drummond-Hathrell effective action in quantum electrodynamics. Madhukar Deb, Jay Desai, and Diptimoy Ghosh, all from the Department of Physics at the Indian Institute of Science, Education and Research, Pune, have revisited the question of causality in curved spacetime using novel diagnostics. Their research establishes conditions under which this seemingly superluminal behaviour does not lead to the formation of closed causal curves, addressing a conceptually nontrivial problem in theoretical physics. By analysing both the global causal structure and applying flat-spacetime analyticity bounds to the photon commutator, the authors demonstrate causal consistency within the regime of validity of the Drummond-Hathrell effective theory for scenarios including circular photon orbits and two-black-hole geometries. The study centres on understanding whether the observed superluminality, where photons appear to travel faster than light, genuinely disrupts the established order of events. The investigation employs two independent methods to assess causal consistency. First, the team analysed the global causal structure of the effective optical metric governing photon propagation, establishing conditions under which it remains stably causal and prevents the formation of closed timelike curves. This analysis was performed for both a circular photon orbit within the Schwarzschild geometry and a linear trajectory in a two-black-hole spacetime. Secondly, researchers examined microcausality from a quantum field-theoretic perspective, treating gravity as a fixed, Lorentz-breaking field and applying flat-spacetime analyticity bounds to the photon commutator within the geometric-optics regime of the effective field theory. For the representative examples of a circular orbit in Schwarzschild spacetime and a linear trajectory in a two-black-hole geometry, the findings indicate
