Tata Consultancy Services and IBM are partnering to participate in the Andhra Pradesh government’s first-of-a-kind, Quantum Valley Tech Park, currently being built in the capital city of Amaravati. The tech park will be anchored by an IBM Quantum System Two installation, with a 156-qubit Heron quantum processor, the largest quantum computer in India.
The two companies will partner develop algorithms and applications to accelerate the development of India’s quantum ecosystem through this initiative. Once completed, the Quantum Valley Tech Park will include access to an IBM Quantum System Two with IBM’s latest 156-qubit Heron processor.
N Chandrababu Naidu, Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh,said, “India’s National Quantum Mission is to make India a global hub in the quantum industry. Andhra Pradesh is set to lead the global quantum revolution, becoming the first State in the world to envision a dedicated Quantum Valley as the foundation of its future economy. With quantum computing poised to transform every major sector in the next 25 years, the State aims to be a first mover in harnessing this emerging frontier. With IBM, TCS, L&T and other members, the Quantum Valley Technology Park represent how India’s industry and academia will soon be able to take an important step forward in accelerating the achievement of our mission’s goals.”
Jay Gambetta, Vice-President, IBM Quantum,said,“Our collaboration with TCS will help attract the country’s thriving ecosystem of developers, scientists, and industry experts to develop algorithms and applications. Combining this with India’s National Quantum Mission we could see an acceleration of the next critical milestone – a successful demonstration of quantum advantage.”
Harrick Vin, Chief Technology Officer at TCS, said, “Hybrid architectures are the key to overcoming intractable computing challenges, with quantum computing serving as a catalyst. TCS’ Hybrid Computing strategy is creating what we believe is a breakthrough software layer that intelligently decomposes programs across current systems — CPUs, GPUs and emerging computing architectures — such as quantum.”
By establishing a quantum ecosystem encompassing research, access to quantum computers, and industry applications, Andhra Pradesh intends to create high-end jobs, attract top-tier talent, and draw global investments.
