By G.Janardhana Rao
Amaravati: Marking World Quantum Day on April 14, 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 first state to commission indigenous Quantum computers testing facility in the country and Amaravati Quantum Valley to emerge as International Quantum Computers hub.
As per the schedule 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 setting up of Amaravati Quantum Reference facility, India has now open sovereign quantum infrastructure. Amaravati becomes the anchor node of a national quantum hardware network positioning India to design, test, certify an 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 semi conductor 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 t 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.
With the initiative of Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu Quantum journey started in April last year in Amaravati Quantum Valley.
Amaravati declaration was made during Amaravati Quantum Valley workshop held in Vijayawada on June 30, 2025, in which Chandrababu Naidu unveiled his ambitious vision to transform Amaravati into a global capital of Quantum technology.
