Baba Farid Group of Institutions (BFGI), incepted in the year 1994 runs under the aegis of Baba Farid Vidyak Society, is one of the prominent education hubs in India. Founded, led and managed by a reputed educationist of northern region, Dr. Gurmeet Singh Dhaliwal (Gyan Jyoti Awardee), this institution is delivering the academic excellence with complete panache. Being the Leading Educational Institute of the Region, it is a preferred destination of Indian and international learners to attain their career goals. At BFGI, we guide, consult, lead and prepare the students for ultimate success by inculcating knowledge, perfection, passion, and professionalism. We combine the academic foundations with the employee ready skills. Here you will receive the best of both worlds: a deep, well-rounded education and the applied real-world skills necessary to achieve academic and career success.

With the constant barrage of new advancements in the Technological sector, as an Educational Institution we have Redefined ourselves by providing the practical platforms to our students with an aim to promote Research & Development, Employability, Skill Development and Entrepreneurship. It is an honour for us to be associated with some of the greatest multinational companies – which includes Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, HP, HCL, Nokia and many more. We are the only institute in the region to be associated with almost all the major industrial bodies of our nation like FICCI, CII, NSDC, ASSOCHAM, PHD Chamber of commerce, AIMA, NASSCOM etc. Since the inception of BFGI, we have been constantly striving hard to get Excellence and laurels in Academics, Sports & Extracurricular Activities. Till now every passing year has added a feather in our cap in the shape of bagging Merit Positions secured at State / University level by our students. Apart from Academics, our students have been successful in winning the Overall University Championship Trophies in highly competitive Youth Festivals and Sports Events organized at State/University levels.

About Baba Farid College

Guided by such prominent educationists from across the world, the college is making continuous progress day by day, and the sky is not the limit for us.

About Conference

Perhaps most significantly, it has been shown that there are several functions that need to be computed on a Quantum Computer that cannot be effectively computed with a conventional computer (i.e. a classical computing). This astonishing result has changed the understanding of computing theory that has been accepted for more than 50 years. So we can say that very soon the bits will be replaced by qubits. Similarly, the application of Quantum Mechanics to Information Theory has shown that the accepted Shannon limit on the information carrying capacity of a bit can be exceeded. The field of Quantum Computing has produced a few algorithms that vastly exceed the performance of any conventional computer algorithm. Quantum Computing and Communications will be a game-changer in the field of Cryptography, Big Data Analysis, ML, Telecommunication, Material Science, Agriculture, and Pharmaceuticals, once this technology is fully developed.

International Conference on Quantum Computing and Communications (QCC- 2023) aims to bridge the gap between the science of Quantum and the development of an industry surrounding it. The objective of this conference is to bring together researchers, industry persons and government incumbents to discuss all aspects related to Quantum Computing and Communications.

QCC-2023 is inviting the contribution from the international Quantum community to form an exceptional program by showcasing their cutting edge Research, Technologies from Quantum Start-ups and Research Labs. It will provide a platform for world-class keynote speakers, community-building workshops, technical papers, innovative posters, stimulating panels, and networking sessions.
