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.
Select the answer using the code given below:

The National Quantum Mission (NQM) was approved by the Union Cabinet in April 2023 with an outlay of ₹6003.65 crore for the period 2023–24 to 2030–31.

• Statement 1 is correct: A key objective of the NQM is to develop intermediate-scale quantum computers with 50 to 1000 physical qubits within 8 years using platforms like superconducting and photonic technologies.
• Statement 2 is correct: The implementation of the mission involves setting up four Thematic Hubs (T-Hubs) in top academic and national R&D institutes. These hubs focus on four crucial domains: Quantum Computing (IISc Bengaluru), Quantum Communication (IIT Madras), Quantum Sensing & Metrology (IIT Bombay), and Quantum Materials & Devices (IIT Delhi).

Therefore, both statements are correct.
