N Chandrababu Naidu will inaugurate India’s first indigenous quantum computing testing facility in Amaravati on April 14, marking a major step in the country’s push toward advanced computing technologies.
The facility, to be launched at SRM University in Amaravati, will be complemented by a connected quantum centre at Medha Towers in Gannavaram. The initiative positions Andhra Pradesh as the first state in India to establish a domestically developed quantum testing infrastructure.
The launch will include a live demonstration of quantum system operations, including the activation of a processor cooling sequence on the Amaravati 1Q system, while a parallel open-access system (Amaravati 1S) will be showcased for attendees.
The project is part of the broader Amaravati Quantum Valley initiative, which aims to develop a full-scale quantum ecosystem encompassing hardware, cloud infrastructure, skilling, and research. The facility is expected to serve as a national hub for designing, testing, and certifying quantum systems, strengthening India’s capabilities in emerging technologies.
Officials said the initiative aligns with India’s National Quantum Mission and includes collaborations with more than 80 industry and academic partners. The ecosystem is also set to host advanced quantum systems, positioning Amaravati among emerging global centres for quantum research and development.
The technologies developed through the facility—such as cryogenics, precision electronics, and quantum-grade fabrication—are expected to have applications across sectors including defence, healthcare, and semiconductor manufacturing.
State officials highlighted that the project reflects a broader vision to integrate quantum computing into governance, healthcare, aerospace, and education, while also building a skilled workforce to support the sector.
With the launch scheduled on World Quantum Day, the initiative underscores Andhra Pradesh’s ambition to emerge as a key player in the global quantum technology landscape.
