IBM, which is building Amaravati's first quantum computer as part of the Quantum Valley project, will deliver three more by 2027. This will enable access to high-capacity 2,000-3,000 qubit quantum computers.
By January 2026, Amaravati will have a 136-qubit quantum computer in operation.
While other states only have 6 or 8-qubit machines, Amaravati is set to lead with the largest quantum computer in India. Quantum test beds, algorithms, and hardware units are already being developed in the city.
To support this growth, the government is drafting a policy specifically for quantum hardware companies. A dedicated centre to train talent in quantum computing is also being established in Amaravati.
Quantum technology will play a key role in fields like cryptography, AI, machine learning, finance, materials science, medicine, and drug discovery. To spread awareness, CM Chandrababu Naidu has asked district collectors to talk about quantum tech with citizens.
The roadmap to turn Quantum Valley into a global centre has two phases. In the first phase (2025-2027), the focus will be on foundational research, building infrastructure, and completing pilot projects.
By 2030, the second phase aims to export ₹5,000 crore worth of quantum hardware and software. The goal is to make Andhra Pradesh a global leader in quantum computing.
To support 100 startups, the government will launch a ₹1,000 crore quantum fund. Through Quantum Academy, 5,000 people will be trained each year. Quantum technology will also be included in school and college curricula.
In a major boost, more than 50% of the applications (84 in total) received by the National Quantum Mission for algorithm development came from Andhra Pradesh. Many of these companies are expected to set up base in Amaravati.
