Which of the following statements with regard to the National Quantum Mission (NQM) is/are correct?

1. It aims at developing intermediate-scale quantum computers with 50-1000 physical qubits.

2. Its implementation includes setting up of four Thematic Hubs (T-Hubs) in academic and national R&D institutes across India

Statement 1 is correct: One of the core targets of the National Quantum Mission (NQM) is to build intermediate-scale quantum computers. The targets are structured progressively over its 8-year timeline: developing 20–50 physical qubits in 3 years, 50–100 physical qubits in 5 years, and scaling up to 50–1,000 physical qubits by the end of the mission using different technological platforms like superconducting and photonic technologies. Statement 2 is correct: To drive the mission's objectives forward using a collaborative "Hub-Spoke-Spike" model, the government has set up four Thematic Hubs (T-Hubs) in top academic and national R&D institutes across India.
