AndhraPradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu’s vision to transform Amaravati into a global quantum technology capital is set to take a major leap with the launch of India’s first indigenous quantum computing testing facility on April 14, coinciding with World Quantum Day.

The facility will be inaugurated at SRM University, alongside a virtual launch of a parallel centre at Medha Towers. This marks a significant milestone in establish-ing the Amaravati Quantum Valley (AQV) as a global quantum hub.

The Chief Minister will witness a live demonstration, including the initiation of the Amaravati 1Q system with its cooling process triggered remotely, while the Amaravati 1S system will operate as an open-access platform for attendees.

With the launch of the Amaravati Quantum Reference Facility (AQRF), India takes a step toward sovereign quantum infrastructure, adding indigenous hard-ware capabilities to AQV’s ecosystem spanning cloud computing, skilling, and innovation.

Amaravati is expected to emerge as the anchor of a national quantum hardware network, enabling the design, testing, certification, and manufacturing of quan-tum systems. The initiative also supports advancements in cryogenics, precision electronics, and quantum-grade fabrication, with applications across defence, healthcare, and semiconductors.

Under the National Quantum Mission, AQV will host an IBM 133-qubit quan-tum computer and has already secured over 80 industry and academic partner-ships, aiming to rank among the world’s top five quantum hubs.

Naidu first unveiled this vision in 2025, emphasizing quantum applications in governance, medicine, aerospace, and education, with a goal to build a fully inte-grated quantum ecosystem in Amaravati.
