<p>Hyderabad: As the N Chandrababu Naidu government is attempting to take a giant leap in future tech quantum computing, the proposed Amaravati Quantum Valley (AQV) is poised to establish India’s largest open quantum testbed – QChipIN - within twelve months.</p><p>The vision of the AQV was unveiled with the release of Amaravati Quantum Declaration at the national workshop that was organised in Vijayawada on Monday. This initiative will integrate quantum computers, QKD fiber links, and deployable sensor platforms to enable pilots across sectors like health-tech, BFSI, logistics, defense, and space.</p><p>The Government of Andhra Pradesh signed MoUs with IBM, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), and Larsen & Toubro (L&T) for the Valley. Quantum valley will be anchored by IBM’s cutting-edge 156-qubit Quantum System Two — the largest quantum computing system to be installed in the country.</p><p>According to the Amaravati Quantum Declaration, QChipIN will provide end-to-end access to quantum hardware, algorithms, tools, and expert support, hosted within a specialised Tech Park in partnership with industry and academia, aimed at accelerating domestic R&D and capacity building in quantum technologies.</p><p>AQV has set targets to install IBM Quantum System Two and create capability to test 100 quantum algorithms, by January 1, 2026.</p><p>To set up three quantum computers- each based on a distinct qubit technology chosen from Superconducting Circuits, Trapped Ions, Photonic Qubits, Neutral Atoms, or Topological Qubits by January 1, 2026.</p><p>To test over 1000 new quantum algorithms annually, by January 1, 2028 . Also to achieve 1000 effective qubits of total quantum capacity by January 1, 2029.</p><p>AQV will also anchor domestic production of qubit platforms, cryo-electronics, photonic packages, quantum chips, quantum dots, quantum readout hardware like single photon detector, homodyne detector, and control systems, targeting Rs 5,000 crore in annual exports by 2030.</p>.Technical snag: Hyderabad-bound flight returns to Chennai.<p>The Amaravati Quantum Valley will also establish India’s first Integrated Quantum Skilling Ecosystem with two main thrusts. Amaravati Quantum Academy that will be launched in 2025–26 will offer integrated PhD fellowships, engineer upskilling, and technician certifications training 200 specialists in year one and 5,000 annually by 2030.</p><p>It will house dedicated research and education centres for design and engineering. Academic Enablement aims to empower at least 20 universities in Andhra Pradesh and 100 across India to run undergraduate, postgraduate, and PhD programs in Quantum Technology by January 1, 2027.</p><p>Courses and curricula including Micro-Degrees will be ready by January 1, 2026. The State Quantum Mission will support academia in scaling quantum education and research.</p><p>AQV aims to attract Rs 8,571 crore ($1 billion) in quantum tech investments by 2029</p><p>AQV will spearhead the creation of a National Startup Forum with VC-backed milestone-based funding and mentorship. A dedicated Rs 1000 crore Quantum Fund and access to living-lab infrastructure will support at least 20 quantum hardware and security startups in the next year and 100 by 2030. Startups will also benefit from regulatory sandboxes. AQV aims to attract a minimum of Rs 4,285 crore ($500 million) in quantum technology investments by January 1, 2027, with a target of Rs 8,571 crore ($1 billion) by January 1, 2029, covering areas such as computing, chips, sensing, and communications.</p><p>In partnership with the National Quantum Mission, AQV will establish a Global Quantum Collaboration Council (GQCC) in Amaravati to harmonize international standards, pursue joint R&D, and promote trusted supply networks.</p><p>A multi-stakeholder Amaravati Quantum Valley Mission Board will be established with multiple working groups to identify the use case of quantum in different sectors. It will also publish a transparent dashboard of KPIs each quarter and convene an annual. By 2035, Amaravati aims to be not only India’s quantum capital but also the world’s lighthouse for deep technological progress.</p>
