JAQA: Building a Joint Alliance of Quantum Assurance for Future-Proof Cybersecurity, Energy Optimization, and Precision Healthcare Leveraging Post-Quantum Cryptography, Neuromorphic Computing, 6G, and XR Technologies in Kerala and India

Abstract

The accelerating convergence of disruptive technologies necessitates innovative frameworks for national security, sustainable development, and advanced public services. This paper details the strategic design and implementation of JAQA, a Joint Alliance of Quantum Assurance, as an integrated multi-stakeholder model for Kerala and India. The alliance aims to establish quantum-safe digital infrastructure, optimized energy systems, and next-generation precision healthcare by leveraging post-quantum cryptography (PQC), neuromorphic computing, 6G networks, extended reality (XR), and autonomous systems. Through a comprehensive methodological approach involving systematic literature review and thematic analysis, this work synthesizes existing research and policy contexts to address the central inquiry: how Kerala and India can pioneer global leadership in secure, intelligent, and sustainable governance by 2030 through JAQA. Qualitative findings reveal critical themes concerning governance structures, technology adoption pathways, ethical considerations, and scalability. Policy implications underscore the imperative for harmonized regulatory frameworks, robust capacity building, and strategic international collaborations. An evaluation plan emphasizes key performance indicators related to cybersecurity resilience, energy efficiency gains, and healthcare outcome improvements, ensuring an iterative refinement process. The proposed JAQA framework provides a blueprint for integrating cutting-edge technologies within a coherent governance ecosystem, fostering trust, agility, and sustainability across vital sectors.
