Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and IBM are collaborating to advance the quantum industry in India through the Government of Andhra Pradesh’s new Quantum Valley Tech Park, which is under construction in Amaravati. The park will house an IBM Quantum System Two, equipped with a 156-qubit Heron quantum processor, making it the largest quantum computer in India.
TCS is working with IBM to help develop algorithms and applications aimed at enabling Indian industry and academia to tackle complex national challenges. The initiative is intended to accelerate the growth of India’s quantum ecosystem, with the involvement of the Government of Andhra Pradesh, IBM, and TCS.
Dr. Harrick Vin, Chief Technology Officer, Tata Consultancy Services, stated, “Hybrid architectures are the key to overcoming intractable computing challenges, with quantum computing serving as a catalyst. TCS’s Hybrid Computing strategy is creating what we believe is a breakthrough software layer that intelligently decomposes programs across current systems CPUs, GPUs and emerging computing architectures such as quantum. We’re excited to be partnering with IBM, and the Government of Andhra Pradesh at the Quantum Valley Tech Park and support India’s National Quantum Mission to accelerate the development of quantum algorithms and applications that solve complex intractable problems and drive both economic growth and technological innovation.”
