DEI is at the forefront of the computing field and is now poised to make gigantic strides with industry-institute partnerships and collaborative research programmes. It hosted the Indo-US Shared Vision Workshop on Soft, Quantum and Nano Computing (SQUAN-2007) in February 2007 under the auspices of the Indo-US Science and Technology Forum which witnessed leading researchers from across the globe in the field of computing cutting across departments of Computer Science, Information Technology, Physics and Chemistry present their latest cutting-edge research work indicating the current impact of Computing on Science and Technology. One of the notable observations that emerged from the Workshop was that there is an urgent and pressing need to promote education and awareness about the futuristic computing technologies like Quantum and Nano Computing. DEI is one of the few Institutes in the world which has introduced such courses even at the Undergraduate level, a fact that was appreciated even by Dr. Lov Grover, the famous originator of the Grover’s algorithm who was the American PI of SQUAN 2007. DEI also hosted the Indo-Canadian-American Quantum and Nano Computing Conclave (QANCLAVE 2007) in December 2007 with Massachusetts Institute of Technology as the American partner and University of Waterloo as the Canadian partner.
