KOLKATA, India, April 20, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Sets in motion complex assembly process of India’s first private sector quantum

computer dedicated to research in Kolkata

The TCG group is planning to set up a one of its kind university in Kolkata.

The group, led by Dr. Purnendu Chatterjee, has committed all the resources that

would be required to realise the global scale research aspirations the proposed

university has. As a first towards this the group has already set up a centre

for translatable research in fundamental sciences. The proposed university will

be unique in its concept as it will also be completely focused on translational

fundamental research.

With a focus on collaborative research on a global scale, this university will

also have its own Quantum Computer, again the first from the private sector in

India. The computer, proposed to be dedicated to helping high-end research, is

being installed in Kolkata. The complex installation process has already been

initiated. Once fully operational, Kolkata can boast of being in step with its

fame for striving to stay ahead of the rest in the field of the academic

initiative.

The university will strive to:

• Create one of the best infrastructure facilities and onboard the best

educators and researchers from across the globe, that will foster quality

higher education, research, product development and industrial consultancy.

• Develop a network with the world’s leading Universities, Research

Institutions, and Industries that will synergize the collective efforts in

contemporary education and research thrust areas and culminate in regional and

global wellbeing.

• To act as the anchor university to the world’s top university departments,

research labs, innovation centres, and business incubators who would collocate

and cooperate for mutually beneficial goals and objectives.

• To be agile and flexible in designing programs and operational constructs to

keep pace with the ever-expanding world of knowledge while ensuring compliance

with the regulatory guidelines.

The university has already resumed its journey as a research centre called TCG

CREST with PhD scholars working in frontier technologies. It’s working in the

areas of Quantum Computing, Neurosciences, Cryptology, Data Driven

Intelligence, and Sustainable Energy. The researches are being led by globally

renowned scientists who have joined the initiative from institutions and

universities like UC Berkeley which are known for their leadership in research

efforts globally. They are all working on ideas that are translatable to

industry use.

As an institution, the not-for-profit TCG CREST is especially dedicated to the

three Ks: Knowledge Creation, Knowledge Application, and Knowledge

Dissemination. The focus is on creating a strong network with highly-reputed

knowledge centres throughout the world --- universities, research institutions,

technology-driven global corporate entities, and academic communities. The goal

is to inculcate a strong culture of continual knowledge exchange through:

research, student exchange, faculty exchange, joint projects, collaborative

workshops, and participative seminars.

Since translational research will be a prime focus area of TCG CREST

University, it is envisaged that working opportunities for more than 200

research scholars will be created every year. It will eventually build up to a

large critical mass for each of the focus areas sustaining at over 5000 at a

steady state. As a part of the global innovation ecosystem, these research

centres along with a university will help curate an intellectual property (IP)

base with entrepreneurial opportunities and high-end jobs in the state. It will

also provide a technology boost to the local Agro/Food Services sector and

result in dramatic improvements in productivity across infrastructure, industry

and Government sectors.
