Two separate quantum testing reference facilities&#8211;named 1S and 1Q&#8211;are being established at the SRM University campus in the capital region and Medha Towers in Gannavaram, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>With this, Andhra Pradesh will become the first state in India to host a Quantum Test Reference Facility. This indigenously developed facility will enable testing and certification of quantum computer hardware, strengthening Amaravati&#8217;s position as a Quantum Valley hub.<\/p>\n<p>Qubitech is establishing the quantum reference testbeds at Medha Towers and SRM University, which will play a crucial role in the development of quantum hardware. These mini quantum computer testbeds operate at extremely low temperatures of -273C, enabling precise testing of quantum devices.<\/p>\n<p>SRM University has also established an open-access reference facility to benefit researchers, students, experts, and companies involved in quantum hardware development.<\/p>\n<p>Both quantum reference facilities in Amaravati are built entirely using indigenously developed technology and equipment.<\/p>\n<p>At Medha Towers, Qubitech has developed the 1Q quantum computer testbed.<\/p>\n<p>At SRM University, a 1S superconducting quantum testbed has been established.<\/p>\n<p>Premier institutions such as the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Indian Institute of Science (IISc), and DRDO have extended support in setting up these facilities.<\/p>\n<p>The inauguration event, marking a first-of-its-kind initiative in India, will witness participation from the National Quantum Mission, IIT professors, quantum scientists, startup representatives, research scholars, and industry experts.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, arrangements are being made for over 1.5 lakh students from universities and colleges across Andhra Pradesh to attend the event virtually.
