Technology majors Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and IBM today announced partnership to further develop India\u2019s quantum industry. Both the technology firms are part of the Government of Andhra Pradesh\u2019s new, first-of-a-kind, Quantum Valley Tech Park, currently being built in the capital city of Amaravati.<\/p>\n
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 India. 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\u2019s most complex challenges. The Government of Andhra Pradesh, IBM and TCS hope to accelerate the development of India\u2019s quantum ecosystem through this initiative, said a press statement.<\/p>\n
N. Chandrababu Naidu, Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, said, \u201cIndia\u2019s National Quantum Mission is to make India a global hub in the quantum industry. 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
With IBM, TCS, L&T and other members, the Quantum Valley Technology Park, said Naidu, represents how India\u2019s industry and academia will soon be able to take an important step forward in accelerating the achievement of our mission\u2019s goals.<\/p>\n
Jay Gambetta, Vice President, IBM Quantum, said, \u201cWe 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\u2019s thriving ecosystem of developers, scientists, and industry experts to develop algorithms and applications. Combining this with India\u2019s National Quantum Mission we could see an acceleration of the next critical milestone \u2013 a successful demonstration of quantum advantage.\u201d<\/p>\n
Members of the Quantum Valley Tech Park can work with TCS for the opportunity to access IBM\u2019s cloud-based quantum computers. Once completed, the Quantum Valley Tech Park will include access to an IBM Quantum System Two with IBM\u2019s latest 156-qubit Heron processor.<\/p>\n
Dr Harrick Vin, Chief Technology Officer, Tata Consultancy Services, said, \u201cHybrid architectures are the key to overcoming intractable computing challenges, with quantum computing serving as a catalyst. TCS\u2019 Hybrid Computing strategy is creating what we believe is a breakthrough software layer that intelligently decomposes programmes across current systems \u2014 CPUs, GPUs and emerging computing architectures \u2014 such as quantum.\u201d<\/p>\n
By establishing a vibrant quantum ecosystem encompassing research, access to quantum computers, and industry applications, the Government of Andhra Pradesh intends to create high-end jobs, attract top-tier talent, and draw global investments.<\/p>\n
As part of this collaboration, TCS will drive India\u2019s applied research and innovation by developing quantum use cases across sectors such as life sciences, materials science, supply chain resilience, energy optimisation, cryptography, and sustainable manufacturing. The goal is to unlock applications capable of a quantum advantage in solving practical industry problems that are currently beyond the reach of classical computing. TCS\u2019 role within the Quantum Valley Tech Park will give researchers from TCS, domain experts across Indian industry, and academic institutions, alike, the opportunity to leverage IBM\u2019s quantum computers and resources.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
