According to reports, India is actively preparing to join the global quantum satellite competition, aiming to protect its communication network from hackers and cyber attacks through advanced quantum technology.

This plan willThe National Quantum Mission（NQM）Led by the Management Committee，By implementing the national quantum mission（NQM），Promote the research and application of quantum technology, especially in the fields of quantum communication and computing.NQMThe planned budget is as high assix hundredBillion rupees，Its chairmanAjai ChowdhryIt has been revealed that the Indian Ministry of Space is expected totwotothreeSuccessfully launched one within the yearQuantum satelliteThe quantum satellite will play a central role in the future construction of larger scale quantum communication networks and become a key component of India's communication security strategy.

Quantum communication, as a cutting-edge technology with extremely high security and transmission efficiency, is regarded as an important development direction in the field of future information security.Quantum Entanglement Photonics is the foundation for building secure quantum communication infrastructure. By utilizing these technologies, quantum satellites can achieve long-distance quantum data transmission, thereby overcoming the geographical limitations of fiber optic communication.Indian Space Research Organization（ISRO）The planned launch of a quantum satellite will connect various regions in Indiaquantum computerForm a nationwide quantum communication network.

India aims to create a hacker resistant communication network and enhance the country's information security level by developing quantum communication technology.To achieve this goal, the Indian Space Research Organization（ISRO）Raman Research Institute（RRI）Collaborate closely with research institutions to jointly develop key technologies for quantum satellites, including quantum entanglement and photonics.NQMstillFour companies have been specifically established to focus on different fields of quantum technology, covering four major sectors: computing, communication, measurement, and sensing.

It is worth noting that,two thousand and twenty-fiveyearThe birth of modern quantum mechanicsone hundredanniversaryHas been declared by the United Nations as“International Year of Quantum Science and Technology”. Meanwhile,China, the United States, Europe and other countries and regions have taken the lead in launching quantum satellite programs and made significant progress in this field. Faced with this global competitive situation, India is no less impressive.

However, despite its broad prospects, India's quantum satellite program still faces many challenges. The limitations on the movement of low Earth orbit satellites and the complex issues of building satellite swarms composed of multiple satellites require researchers to overcome.However, with its profound foundation and innovative capabilities in the field of technology, India is expected to achieve significant results in the development of quantum technology and contribute its own strength to the progress of global quantum technology.
