English abstract

In this paper, we explore how India performs in an advanced technological field, namely quantum computing. An Indian publication is defined as one in which at least one author has an Indian address. We have studied all quantum computing-related articles and reviews in the WoS with at least one Indian author. We separately considered domestic publications (all authors have an Indian address) and collaborations with the USA. Besides numbers of publications we also considered yearly citations and the corresponding h-indices. There is a generally increasing trend for all indicators, in particular for internationally collaborated publications. Data are obtained from the Web of Science, based on (All=)-queries. It is explained why (ALL=)-queries are preferred above )TS=)-queries. As a new indicator for general visibility of a topic we introduce the (TS/ALL)-ratio.
