IBM and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) have collaborated with the Andhra Pradesh government to launch the Quantum Valley Tech Park in Amaravati. This project is a pivotal development under India’s National Quantum Mission and features the deployment of IBM’s 156-qubit Heron processor—India’s most powerful quantum computer. The partnership aims to establish a robust quantum ecosystem, supporting advanced research in cryptography, materials science, and governance. It will also create jobs, foster global investments, and bridge the gap between academia and industry through quantum computing infrastructure and cloud-based access. IBM contributes the hardware and expertise, while TCS focuses on applications and hybrid models.
