India launches major investment into quantum computing
印度啟動對量子計算的重大投資
In April 2023, India took a giant leap into the future by launching the National Quantum Mission (NQM).
2023年4月，印度透過啟動「國家量子任務」（National Quantum Mission, NQM）向未來邁出了一大步（ㄅㄨˋ）。
With a substantial budget of ₹6,003.65 crore dedicated over eight years, the initiative aims to establish the nation as a global powerhouse in quantum technology.
該計畫投入總計6,003.65億盧比的鉅（ㄐㄩˋ）額預算，旨在八年內將印度打造成量子技術領域的全球強權。
Led by the Department of Science and Technology, the mission focuses on four key pillars: developing intermediate-scale quantum computers, building secure communication networks, advancing quantum sensing, and creating innovative quantum materials.
該任務由科學與技術部領導，聚焦於四大關鍵支柱：開發中型量子電腦、建立安全通訊網路、推進量子感測技術，以及創造創新量子材料。
To ensure success, the government has established four specialized research hubs at prestigious institutions, including IISc Bengaluru and various IITs.
為確保成功，政府已在包括班加羅爾印度科學理工學院（IISc Bengaluru）及多所印度理工學院（IITs）在內的頂尖學府設立了四個專業研究中心。
Beyond scientific research, the NQM is a strategic move to ensure digital security.
除科學研究外，NQM也是確保數位安全的一項策略性舉措。
With India’s massive digital infrastructure, protecting against future cyber threats is critical.
鑒（ㄐㄧㄢˋ）於印度龐大的數位基礎設施，抵禦未來的網路威脅至關重要。
By fostering domestic innovation and supporting startups, India is working toward 'Atmanirbhar Bharat'—a vision of self-reliance.
透過培育本土創新及支援新創企業，印度正致力於實現「自立印度」（Atmanirbhar Bharat）——這是一種自主（ㄓˋ）自給的願景。
This mission not only prepares India for the global quantum race but also promises to drive economic growth in fields like drug discovery and logistics.
此任務不僅使印度為全球量子競賽做好準備，還有望推動藥物研發與物流等領域的經濟成長。
By bridging the gap between theory and industry, the NQM is set to secure India's place at the forefront of the technological revolution, transforming the digital and physical landscape for years to come.
藉由彌合理論與產業界之間的鴻（ㄏㄨㄥˊ）溝（ㄍㄡ），NQM將確立印度在技術革命的最前線，並在未來數年內改變數位與實體的格局。
