Equipped with a 156-qubit IBM Heron processor, the advanced system will be developed by IBM and TCS to drive innovation across science, industry, and academia under the National Quantum Mission.
India is set to make a significant stride in its tech ambitions with the launch of its most advanced quantum computer, developed under the National Quantum Mission through a collaboration between IBM and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) to address complex scientific and industrial challenges.
The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) recently teased the project with a post on social media, featuring a cryptic image and inviting guesses about the computer’s future location.
It has since been confirmed that the system will be housed at the Quantum Valley Tech Park in Amaravati, the capital of Andhra Pradesh.
Powered by IBM’s 156-qubit Heron processor, the machine is expected to execute millions of operations at high speed, pushing the boundaries of what’s currently possible in computing.
IBM will handle the hardware design and development, while TCS will create specialized software and algorithms to apply the technology across sectors such as industry, education, and research.
This initiative highlights India’s growing commitment to emerging technologies, with quantum computing seen as a cornerstone for future breakthroughs.
It’s anticipated that the system will not only enhance domestic capabilities but also attract global interest and investment.
IBM’s Qiskit software platform and related tools will support the quantum ecosystem, helping foster a skilled workforce and innovative startups.
The government has committed ₹6,003.65 crore to the National Quantum Mission, an initiative spanning from 2023–24 to 2030–31, aimed at boosting both scientific progress and industrial competitiveness in the field of quantum technologies.
