Amaravati's Rs 1,000 Crore Quantum Computing Centre Nears Completion

The Amaravati Quantum Computing Centre in Andhra Pradesh is nearing completion, with an estimated investment of nearly Rs 1,000 crore. The facility is being developed as part of the Amaravati Quantum Valley project and will house a state-of-the-art quantum computer from IBM.

The centre's construction is progressing rapidly, with nearly 50% of the work already completed. Engineers are installing 24 special seismic isolators beneath the laboratory's foundation to prevent vibrations from reaching the highly sensitive quantum system.

The AQCC will be a Ground + 1 building with a total built-up area of 45,000 square feet. The ground floor will house the quantum computer and related infrastructure, including a 3,000-square-foot quantum laboratory.
