The State Government has signed memoranda of understanding with the three companies in the presence of Chief Minister at his residence at Undavalli near Vijayawada on Friday
On the day Prime Minister Narendra Modi relaunching the construction work at Amaravati, the Andhra Pradesh Capital gets a shot in the arm with global IT and technology majors IBM and TCS, construction manager L&T announcing participation in the country’s maiden Quantum Valley project.
Amaravati is going to set up the country’s maiden Quantum Valley on January 1, 2026. Global technology and IT majors IBM, TCS, Larsen & Toubro are going to drive the establishment of the quantum tech park.
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has said that officials had shown a suitable land parcel to L&T to take up the construction work. “Two committees will be constituted to fast-track execution: one focusing on infrastructure and another on ecosystem building,” he said.
The State Government will appoint global experts, develop quantum-enabled public services such as GST optimisation and real-time census modeling, and create India’s first quantum governance framework.
The State Government has signed memoranda of understanding with the three companies in the presence of Chief Minister at his residence at Undavalli near Vijayawada on Friday.
The tech park will be anchored by IBM’s cutting-edge 156-qubit Quantum System Two — the largest quantum computing system to be installed in the country.
The State, which played a central role in India’s IT revolution of the 1990s, will now lead the global quantum computing revolution, Naidu said.
Quantum computing
“Quantum computing is the foundation for next-generation governance and innovation,” he said, calling for the participation from the academia, start-ups, and global partners to make the valley a global hub for quantum computing.
Stating that the Hi-Tec City was built just in 15 months, he sai expressed confidence that Quantum Valley could be constructed even faster. He said the officials had shown suitable land parcel for building the tech park.
Jay Gambetta, Vice President of IBM Quantum, expressed enthusiasm about deploying IBM’s Quantum System Two in Amaravati, calling it a pivotal step for India’s quantum journey. He emphasised that the collaboration with TCS and Andhra Pradesh would accelerate quantum algorithm development and bring the vision of “quantum advantage” closer to reality.
Dr. Harrick Vin, CTO of Tata Consultancy Services, outlined TCS’s hybrid computing strategy that integrates quantum with classical systems like CPUs and GPUs.
“Quantum will catalyse breakthroughs in life sciences, materials, cryptography and more. This is a defining moment,” he added.
Scott Crowder, IBM’s VP for Quantum Adoption, said that quantum computing is the “second quantum revolution,” and its applications — from EV batteries to anomaly detection in financial systems — will define the next era of industrial and scientific innovation.
With more than 75 quantum systems already deployed worldwide and eight centres in operation, IBM’s latest investment in India reflects the country’s strong capabilities in both software and emerging tech.
