The state government is creating the first-of-its-kind Quantum Valley in India in Amaravati, marking a significant step towards turning the state into a global center for deep-tech innovation.

The Amaravati Quantum Valley, led by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and in line with India's Rs 6,003 crore National Quantum Mission, is anticipated to revolutionize the state's economy and India's place in the global quantum ecosystem.

The first day of the project is set for January 1, 2026.

This future tech park, which is being created by Larsen & Toubro (L&T), will span 50 acres and contain the 156-qubit IBM Quantum System Two, India's most potent quantum computer.

The program is expected to create thousands of high-end employment, draw in foreign investment, and assist a large network of startups, international corporations, defense, and space-tech businesses.

Additionally, it will spur innovation in important industries including logistics, healthcare, finance, cybersecurity, and aerospace.

The cutting-edge technology known as quantum computing uses qubits rather than traditional bits to handle data. Qubits use entanglement and superposition to exist in several states at once, in contrast to regular bits, which only exist in 0 or 1.

Due to this, quantum computers can solve complicated issues that are harder for even the fastest supercomputers of today to handle.

“Tech giants need operational ecosystems, and Quantum Valley will be that platform. We envision Andhra Pradesh as India’s own Silicon Valley, earning revenue even by offering services and infrastructure to major players.”

Quantum simulations have the potential to significantly accelerate drug discovery in the pharmaceutical industry, while quantum algorithms in finance can better model risk and optimize portfolios. Additionally, quantum systems in cybersecurity hold the promise of secure communications through post-quantum cryptography.

Additionally, the Valley will support advances in logistics, where intricate routing can be improved at scale, and artificial intelligence, where quantum systems can train enormous models more effectively.

Andhra University will begin offering specialized quantum degree programs in the 2025–2026 academic year as part of the plan, which places a strong emphasis on academia–industry partnership. There are currently international collaborations in place to facilitate researcher exchanges and collaborative innovation initiatives with Purdue University in the United States and the University of Tokyo in Japan.

Speaking to TNIE, Prof Anil Prabhakar of IIT Madras, a quantum communications expert and advisor at Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), hailed the development. “Amaravati hosting India’s first IBM quantum computer is a game-changer.”

Amaravati's Quantum Valley is positioned to serve as the hub of India's deep-tech revolution, with the country's quantum computing market expected to reach $500 million by 2035.
