VIJAYAWADA: In a landmark development coinciding with World Quantum Day, Andhra Pradesh would mark a historic milestone with the launch of two state-of-the-art quantum computing test beds on April 14. <\/p>\n
Chief minister Chandrababu Naidu would inaugurate one each of state-of-the-art quantum computer test beds\u2014\u201c1S\u201d and \u201c1Q\u201d\u2014on this day at SRM University in the capital region and Medha Towers in Gannavaram, respectively.
The inauguration is expected to witness participation from representatives of the national quantum mission, IIT professors, leading scientists, startup founders, research scholars and domain experts. Additionally, arrangements have been made for over 1.5 lakh students across the state to attend the event from far.<\/p>\n
The initiative, part of the ambitious Amaravati Quantum Valley programme, positions AP as the first in India to establish a dedicated quantum test and certification ecosystem. These quantum reference facilities would play a pivotal role in accelerating the country\u2019s quantum technology capabilities, while placing Amaravati firmly on the global innovation map.<\/p>\n
Developed entirely using indigenous technology, the facilities would enable the testing and certification of quantum computing hardware, ushering in a new era of scientific advancement. The move is expected to significantly boost research, foster innovation, and strengthen collaboration between academia, industry and startups in the rapidly evolving quantum domain.<\/p>\n
The two test beds include the 1Q system, set up by Qubitech at Medha Towers, and the 1S system developed at SRM University using superconducting technology. Both systems function at extremely low temperatures nearing minus 273\u00b0C, creating conditions essential for testing sensitive quantum components and devices with high precision.<\/p>\n
A highlight of the initiative is the open-access facility at SRM University, which would provide researchers, students, startups and technology firms with a platform for experimentation, validation and development of next-generation quantum solutions.<\/p>\n
The project has received technical support from premier institutions such as the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Indian Institute of Science, and the Defence Research and Development Organisation, underscoring its scientific significance. Importantly, all components have been domestically developed, reinforcing India\u2019s commitment to self-reliance in deep-tech innovation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"VIJAYAWADA: In a landmark development coinciding with World Quantum Day, Andhra Pradesh would mark a historic milestone with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":599809,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[227199,141359,49,48,314,66,227198],"class_list":{"0":"post-599808","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-physics","8":"tag-andhra-pradesh-news","9":"tag-ap-news","10":"tag-ca","11":"tag-canada","12":"tag-physics","13":"tag-science","14":"tag-world-quantum-day"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/599808","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=599808"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/599808\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/599809"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=599808"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=599808"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=599808"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
