MarkingWorld Quantum Day on April 14, Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu will formally launch the nation’s first indigenous Quantum Computers testing facility at SRM University in Amaravati and simultaneously launch virtually the Quantum facility centre at Medha towers in Gannavaram near Vijayawada.

With this, Andhra Pradesh is going to emerge as the first state in the country to commission indigenous Quantum computers testing facility, sharpening the broader vision to make Amaravati Quantum Valley the hub of International Quantum Computers. 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 the Amaravati Quantum Reference Facility (AQRF), India has now opened 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. Part of the state government’s flagship programme Quantum Technology Hub, under the 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.
