In a significant stride towards advancing quantum technology in India, IBM, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), and the Government of Andhra Pradesh have announced plans to deploy the country’s largest quantum computer at the forthcoming Quantum Valley Tech Park in Amaravati. Scheduled for inauguration on January 1, 2026, this facility will be anchored by IBM’s Quantum System Two, featuring the 156-qubit Heron processor—the most powerful quantum computer in India to date.
The Quantum Valley Tech Park is envisioned as a hub for quantum research and development, aiming to foster innovation and collaboration among academia, industry, and government entities. The facility will provide access to IBM’s cloud-based quantum computers, enabling researchers and developers to explore and create quantum algorithms and applications.
TCS’s involvement underscores its commitment to advancing hybrid computing strategies, integrating quantum computing with classical systems like CPUs and GPUs. This approach is expected to address complex computational challenges across various sectors, including life sciences, materials science, and supply chain management.
The Government of Andhra Pradesh’s collaboration with IBM and TCS aligns with India’s National Quantum Mission, which aims to establish the country as a global leader in quantum technology. Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu emphasized the state’s vision to lead the quantum revolution, drawing parallels to its pivotal role in the IT transformation during the 1990s.
The Quantum Valley Tech Park is expected to attract global investments, create high-end job opportunities, and serve as a catalyst for technological innovation in India. With the combined efforts of IBM, TCS, and the Andhra Pradesh government, this initiative marks a significant milestone in India’s journey towards becoming a global quantum hub
