Andhra Pradesh Unveils Ambitious Quantum Initiative to Lead Global Innovation by 2030
  • AP launches its own quantum mission and unveils the Quantum Computing Policy 2025–2030 to establish the state as a first-mover in national quantum initiatives, fostering startups, researchers, and companies.

  • The policy positions Andhra Pradesh as India’s leading hub for quantum innovation through research, hardware production, global collaboration, and skill development.

  • Global tech giants including NVIDIA, AWS, and WISER are collaborating with AQV to support research, product development, and ecosystem integration in Amaravati.

  • A governance framework underpins the policy, featuring an Apex Committee and an Expert Committee to scientifically oversee projects from startups, universities, and industries.

  • Quantum computing is expected to transform sectors such as healthcare, cybersecurity, climate modelling, space research, and advanced AI, driving modern computing forward.

  • The Amaravati Quantum Academy will train 50,000 students and nurture at least 100 elite researchers and startups over the next decade.

  • Academic institutions are incentivized to turn ideas into prototypes, while manufacturers receive subsidies on capital investment, SGST refunds, import support for early-stage projects, and concessions on land and power.

  • By 2030, Amaravati aims to rank among the top five quantum hubs globally, joining cities like Boston, Munich, Singapore, and Tokyo.

  • Amaravati positions itself as a national and global hub for quantum computing through the AQV, hosting South Asia’s first 133-qubit quantum computer.

  • AQV is an integrated ecosystem combining hardware, software, research, and talent development to sustain long-term quantum research and industry growth.

  • Agreements with IBM and Tata Consultancy Services enable critical quantum infrastructure and research facilities in Amaravati, including the Amaravati Quantum Computing Centre and Amaravati Quantum Valley.

  • The AQV aims to create thousands of high-value jobs and build a steady pipeline of specialised quantum professionals through the Amaravati Quantum Academy.
