The Andhra Pradesh government and National Quantum Mission have launched the Amaravati Quantum Declaration, unveiled during the Amaravati Quantum Valley (AQV) Workshop in Vijayawada. The event gathered leading global scientists, innovators, and industry experts to solidify a roadmap for India’s leadership in quantum computing, secure communications, and sensing technologies.
At the heart of the declaration is QChipIN, envisioned as India’s largest open-access quantum testbed, which will be operational within 12 months at the Amaravati Quantum Valley Tech Park. The blueprint includes installing IBM’s Quantum System Two by January 2026, followed by the deployment of three additional quantum systems, each based on different qubit technologies. The goal is ambitious: to execute over 1,000 quantum algorithm tests per year by 2029.
The declaration also highlights a strong emphasis on talent development and quantum entrepreneurship:
Through the Amaravati Quantum Academy, an “Integrated Quantum Skilling Ecosystem” is expected to train 5,000 quantum specialists annually by 2030.
A ₹1,000 crore Quantum Fund has been launched to support at least 100 startups, fostering innovation across the ecosystem.
By 2027, more than 100 universities are expected to launch courses and programs focused on quantum science and engineering.
To cement Amaravati’s standing as a global hub for quantum research and collaboration, the package also includes:
The launch of a Global Quantum Collaboration Council, and an annual World Quantum Expo starting in 2026.
Oversight by a multi-stakeholder Mission Board, which will monitor progress using quarterly key performance indicators.
“The long-term vision: to transform Amaravati into a global deep tech beacon by 2035.”
This comprehensive quantum strategy marks a concerted effort to position India at the forefront of advanced technology. With world-class infrastructure, skilled talent, startup funding, and international partnerships, the Amaravati Quantum Declaration aims to catalyze scientific breakthroughs and industrial leadership in the rapidly evolving quantum domain.
