Q1Consider the following statements about the National Quantum Mission: 1. Its quantum-computing target is 20-50 physical qubits in 3 years. 2. It targets inter-city quantum key distribution over 2000 km. 3. It is designed as a direct household cash-benefit programme. Which of the statements given above are correct?

A 1 only

B 2 and 3 only

C 1 and 2 only

D 1, 2 and 3

Explanation

Statements 1 and 2 reproduce measurable mission targets: 20-50 physical qubits within 3 years and inter-city quantum key distribution over 2000 km. Statement 3 is false because the mission supports selected institutions, laboratories, startups and industry partners; it is not a household cash-transfer scheme.

Q2Which option correctly states both the approved outlay and the implementation period of the National Quantum Mission?

A ₹6003.65 crore; 2022-23 to 2029-30

B ₹6003.65 crore; 2023-24 to 2030-31

C ₹2169.62 crore; 2023-24 to 2030-31

D ₹450.99 crore; 2024-25 to 2031-32

Explanation

The Cabinet-approved package is ₹6003.65 crore for eight years, running from financial year 2023-24 through 2030-31. Option B alone combines both verified figures. The smaller amounts in other options refer to hub sanctions or releases, not the mission's total outlay.

Q3Which ministry-level department implements the National Quantum Mission?

A Department of Science and Technology

B Department of Telecommunications

C Department of Atomic Energy

D Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade

Explanation

The National Quantum Mission is implemented by the Department of Science and Technology under the Ministry of Science and Technology. The Union Cabinet approved it on 19 April 2023, so option A identifies the actual nodal department rather than a collaborating or sector-related body.

Q4Match each National Quantum Mission technology vertical with its host institution: 1. Quantum Computing 2. Quantum Communication 3. Quantum Sensing and Metrology 4. Quantum Materials and Devices a. IIT Delhi b. IIT Bombay c. IISc Bengaluru d. IIT Madras with C-DoT Select the correct code.

A 1-c, 2-b, 3-d, 4-a

B 1-b, 2-d, 3-c, 4-a

C 1-c, 2-a, 3-b, 4-d

D 1-c, 2-d, 3-b, 4-a

Explanation

The four official pairings are: computing—IISc Bengaluru; communication—IIT Madras with C-DoT; sensing and metrology—IIT Bombay; and materials and devices—IIT Delhi. Therefore the sequence 1-c, 2-d, 3-b, 4-a in option D is the only fully correct match.

Q5Which sequence correctly presents the National Quantum Mission's physical-qubit targets for 3 years, 5 years and 8 years, respectively?

A 20-50; 50-100; 50-1000

B 50-100; 20-50; 50-1000

C 20-50; 50-1000; 50-100

D 20-100; 100-500; 500-2000

Explanation

The computing roadmap rises in three stated stages: 20-50 physical qubits in 3 years, 50-100 in 5 years, and 50-1000 in 8 years. Option A preserves both the numerical ranges and their time order; every other option reverses or invents at least one milestone.
