IBM, TCS & Andhra to deploy India’s largest quantum computer at Tech Park in Amaravati

Vijayawada, May 2 (UNI) Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and IBM are partnering with the Andhra Pradesh Government to develop India’s largest quantum computer in the country’s first Quantum Valley Tech park, currently being built in Amaravati, the state capital city of Andhra Pradesh.
The tech park will be anchored by an IBM Quantum System Two installation, with a 156-qubit Heron quantum processor, the largest quantum computer in the country, the IT giant said in a release on Friday.
TCS is partnering with IBM to support the development of algorithms and applications that will help the Indian industry and academia solve some of the nation’s most complex challenges.
The Andhra Pradesh government, IBM and TCS hope to accelerate the development of India’s quantum ecosystem through this initiative.
Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu said, “Andhra Pradesh is set to lead the global quantum revolution, becoming the first state in the world to envision a dedicated Quantum Valley as the foundation of its future economy. With quantum computing poised to transform every major sector in the next 25 years, the state aims to be a first mover in harnessing this emerging frontier. With IBM, TCS, L&T and other members, the Quantum Valley Technology Park represent how India’s industry and academia will soon be able to take an important step forward in accelerating the achievement of our mission’s goals.”
Jay Gambetta, vice president, IBM Quantum, said, “We are excited about our plans with the state of Andhra Pradesh to deploy our latest IBM Quantum System Two at the Quantum Valley Tech Park. Our collaboration with TCS will help attract the country’s thriving ecosystem of developers, scientists, and industry experts to develop algorithms and applications. Combining this with India’s National Quantum Mission we could see an acceleration of the next critical milestone – a successful demonstration of quantum advantage.”
Members of the Quantum Valley Tech Park can work with TCS for the opportunity to access IBM’s cloud-based quantum computers. Once completed, the Quantum Valley Tech Park will include access to an IBM Quantum System Two with IBM’s latest 156-qubit Heron processor.
Dr. Harrick Vin, Chief Technology Officer, Tata Consultancy Services, said, " TCS’ Hybrid Computing strategy is creating what we believe is a breakthrough software layer that intelligently decomposes programs across current systems — CPUs, GPUs and emerging computing architectures — such as quantum.”
By establishing a vibrant quantum ecosystem encompassing research, access to quantum computers, and industry applications, the Andhra government intends to create high-end jobs, attract top-tier talent, and draw global investments.
