Marking World Quantum Day on April 14, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu will formally launch indigenous Quantum Computers testing facility for the first time in the country at SRM university in Amaravati and simultaneously virtually launch the Quantum facility centre at Medha towers in Gannavaram near Vijayawada.

With this Andhra Pradesh is going to emerge as the first state to commission indigenous Quantum computers testing facility in the country and Amaravati Quantum Valley to emerge as International Quantum Computers hub.

The Chief Minister will witness a live quantum system initiation with the cooling process of the processor on the Amaravati 1Q system being triggered virtually as the system is housed at Medha towers. 

At the same time Amaravati 1S system will function as an open access set up fully visible to all attendees during the demonstration. With the setting up of Amaravati Quantum Reference facility, India will have sovereign quantum infrastructure. Amaravati becomes the anchor node of a national quantum hardware network positioning India to design, test, certify and manufacture quantum systems for the world. 

The Technologies developed through AQRF include cryogenics, precision electronics, quantum grade fabrication, which have strategic spill over into defence, healthcare and semiconductor manufacturing.

The Andhra Pradesh Government’s flagship programme Quantum technology hub under India’s National Quantum Mission, Amaravati Quantum Valley will be hosting an IBM 133-qubit Quantum computer and has engaged 80 plus industry and academic partnerships, positioning it to be among the top five global quantum hubs. The launch of AQRF on World Quantum Day adds an indigenous hardware dimension to Amaravati Quantum Valley’s portfolio, complementing its existing quantum cloud, skilling and innovation infrastructure, according to a release.
