AP Govt Approves Amaravati Quantum Valley Declaration to Position State as Global Quantum Hub.

National | Dated: 09 Jul 2025

On July 7, 2025, the Government of Andhra Pradesh formally approved the Amaravati Quantum Valley Declaration, establishing a comprehensive policy framework to advance quantum technology innovation in Amaravati. The declaration aims to transform the state into a leading quantum science and technology hub, targeting USD 1 billion in investment by January 1, 2029.

🎯 Key Highlights:

  • - The declaration is the outcome of the Quantum Valley Workshop held in Vijayawada on June 30, 2025, where government officials, industry leaders, academic experts, and startups collaborated. It outlines shared commitments such as quantum research, talent development, infrastructure creation, and global partnerships.
  • - A core initiative includes setting up the QChipIN, India’s largest open quantum testbed, within 12 months. This ‘Living Lab’ infrastructure will integrate quantum computers, key distribution (QKD) fiber links, and sensor platforms to pilot projects in health-tech, finance, defence, logistics, and space sectors.

💡 Other Important Facts:

  • (i) Under the declaration, IBM’s Quantum System Two is expected to be installed by January 2026, enabling the testing of 100 quantum algorithms. By 2027, three more quantum systems—covering superconducting circuits, trapped ions, photonic qubits—are planned. The roadmap aims to scale up to 1,000 algorithms annually by 2028 and reach 1,000 effective qubits by 2029.
  • (ii) To build a strong domestic supply chain, Amaravati Quantum Valley will anchor production of qubit platforms, cryo-electronics, quantum chips, single-photon detectors, and photonic packages, aiming for Rs 5,000 crore in annual exports by 2030. Governance will involve a multi-stakeholder mission board, a Global Quantum Collaboration Council, and an annual World Quantum Expo starting in 2026.
