TCS and IBM Collaborate to Establish Quantum Valley Tech Park in Andhra Pradesh.
Economy Business
In May 2025, Mumbai (Maharashtra)-based Tata Consultancy Services Limited (TCS) and New York (United States of America)-based International Business Machines (IBM) Corporation entered into a strategic partnership with the Government of Andhra Pradesh (AP) to establish India’s largest quantum computer at the proposed Quantum Valley Tech Park in Amaravati, Andhra Pradesh.
- This initiative aligns with the objectives of India’s National Quantum Mission (NQM), which aims to position India as a global leader in quantum technologies, enabling innovation, advanced research, and employment generation.
- The Quantum Valley Tech Park, envisioned as the first-of-its-kind in India, will feature an IBM Quantum System Two installation, equipped with a 156-qubit Heron quantum processor, making it the largest quantum computer in India.
- TCS will focus on developing quantum algorithms and domain-specific applications aimed at addressing complex challenges across a range of critical sectors, including life sciences, material science, supply chain resilience, energy optimization, cryptography, and sustainable manufacturing.
Main Point :- (i) The collaboration will also facilitate access to IBM’s cloud-based quantum systems, supporting developers, researchers, and technologists across the country to experiment and innovate in quantum computing.
(ii) The infrastructure of the tech park will support hybrid computing models, integrating quantum computing with traditional CPU and GPU systems, to address complex computational challenges.
