The State is set to establish itself as a national hub for quantum computing research under the leadership of Naidu. Just as the undivided Andhra Pradesh pioneered the Information Technology (IT) revolution of the 1990s, the State government is now focusing on securing a first-mover advantage in Quantum Technology, a field poised to drive revolutionary advancements across various sectors.

As part of this vision, the State government has formed a dedicated task force and is developing a strategic roadmap to create a world-class quantum computing hub, the Quantum Valley, in alignment with the National Quantum Mission.

The ambitious initiative is being developed in collaboration with IIT Madras, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), and IBM, fostering cutting-edge research, innovation, and talent development in the State.

A high-level meeting was held at the Secretariat on Monday to lay the groundwork for establishing the Quantum Computing Hub.
