IBM-TCS Join Hands to Boost Quantum Computing in India with Quantum Valley Tech Park in Andhra Pradesh

In a significant leap for India’s quantum computing ambitions, IBM and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) have announced a strategic partnership to co-develop India’s quantum ecosystem through the upcoming Quantum Valley Tech Park in Amaravati, Andhra Pradesh. The park is poised to become India’s premier quantum research hub, anchored by IBM’s Quantum System Two, featuring the most powerful quantum processor in the country to date.

The initiative is a major step in support of India’s National Quantum Mission, which envisions making the country a global centre for quantum innovation, research, and industrial application. The tech park will house IBM’s latest 156-qubit Heron quantum processor, marking a historic milestone in India's technological capability.

Under this collaboration, IBM will provide its cloud-based quantum computing infrastructure and quantum development tools, such as Qiskit, while TCS will contribute its expertise in developing hybrid computing strategies. TCS aims to bridge classical and quantum computing environments, enabling real-world applications across life sciences, cryptography, sustainable manufacturing, energy, supply chain logistics, and material science.

“This Quantum Valley Tech Park is not just infrastructure — it is the gateway to India’s leadership in solving globally significant problems using quantum technology,” said Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, who added, “The collaboration with tech giants like IBM, TCS, and L&T exemplifies our commitment to technological advancement and high-value job creation.”

Jay Gambetta, Vice President of IBM Quantum, expressed enthusiasm about deploying IBM’s most advanced quantum system in India. “The installation of IBM Quantum System Two in Amaravati and our alliance with TCS aims to empower Indian developers, scientists, and innovators to move closer to achieving quantum advantage,” said the Chief Minister.

IBM and TCS envision the tech park as a collaborative environment where researchers from academia and industry will be able to experiment, learn, and apply quantum technology to real-world problems that are unsolvable by conventional computing.

Harrick Vin, CTO of TCS, emphasised the company’s focus on developing a next-generation hybrid computing software layer capable of integrating CPUS, GPUS, and quantum systems. “This breakthrough approach will make way for scalable applications that deliver a true quantum advantage, aligning with our mission to fuel economic growth and technological excellence,” said Vin.

Once operational, the Quantum Valley Tech Park is expected to play a transformative role in India’s R&D landscape. It aims to attract foreign investments, nurture top-tier talent, and generate a new wave of high-skilled employment across the quantum computing value chain.

By aligning with India’s National Quantum Mission, the project places Andhra Pradesh at the forefront of global quantum innovation and positions the nation as a strategic player in the race to harness quantum technology.
