IBM to Commission One of India’s First Physical Quantum Computers in Amaravati by September 2026
IBM Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Arvind Krishna has confirmed that the greenfield city of Amaravati will host one of the first two physical IBM quantum computers deployed on-shore in India. Targeted for full operational commissioning by September 2026, the hardware deployment represents a key anchor transaction for the state of Andhra Pradesh's Quantum Valley [...] The post IBM to Commission One of India’s First Physical Quantum Computers in Amaravati by September 2026 appeared first on Quantum Computing Report .
India is actively pursuing technological self-reliance and has created a 'Quantum Valley' in Andhra Pradesh, attracting major players like IBM to establish physical quantum computing infrastructure on its soil.
This marks a significant step towards quantum capabilities for India, potentially reducing dependency on foreign quantum infrastructure and accelerating domestic research and development in a critical future technology.
India will host operational physical quantum computers for the first time, directly impacting its national compute capabilities and positioning in the global quantum race.
