en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Amaravati Quantum and Artificial Intelligence Innovation Centre (AQAIC), a collaboration between the Andhra Pradesh government and IBM, will be officially launched on Thursday, June 18.
According to an official press release, the launch of AQAIC will lay the foundation for "India's largest organized quantum problem-solving force." The centre is a flagship initiative of the Andhra Pradesh government's Amaravati Quantum Valley in partnership with IBM, aiming to create a platform that connects industry challenges, academic talent, and global technical expertise to accelerate the development of practical quantum computing applications and algorithms, addressing real-world challenges in industry and public services.
AQAIC's operational model brings together three key stakeholders: industry, academia, and technical experts. Industry partners will contribute high-value problem statements requiring advanced computing solutions; professors and students will be responsible for developing quantum algorithms and use cases to solve these problems; and IBM will provide technical guidance, access to its quantum ecosystem (including Qiskit), certification pathways, and expert mentorship. Underpinning this initiative is a statewide network of 380 quantum innovation cells established across engineering colleges in Andhra Pradesh, bringing together over 3,000 professors and students, making it one of India's largest coordinated quantum talent programs.
Through AQAIC, this network will function as a unified innovation engine, transforming real-world challenges into quantum-driven solutions and building a robust pipeline of skilled talent, intellectual property, and applied research. The centre is expected to support the development of quantum applications in sectors such as manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, financial services, energy, agriculture, and public services, enabling organizations to explore and harness the transformative potential of quantum computing. AQAIC aims to accelerate the transition of quantum technology from research environments to practical deployment by combining industry-driven challenges, academic capabilities, and IBM's expertise.
The launch of AQAIC is a significant step in Andhra Pradesh's vision to establish the Amaravati Quantum Valley as a "leading destination for quantum computing, artificial intelligence, advanced research, and deep-tech innovation." By creating a statewide framework that connects industry, academia, and global technology leadership, the state is laying the foundation for a future-ready innovation ecosystem and solidifying its position at the forefront of India's quantum future.
