QpiAI, Alliance University to Set up Quantum AI Experience Centre in Bengaluru
Alliance University and QpiAI will jointly deploy the QVidya 8-qubit superconducting quantum system.
QpiAI, an indigenous quantum computing company, and Alliance University have announced a strategic partnership to establish the AU QUASAR (Quantum AI School for Advanced Research) Experience Centre at the university’s upcoming Electronic City campus in Bengaluru.
The facility, unveiled in the presence of Dr. Manjula N, ITBT, Electronics & S&T Secretary, Government of Karnataka, will host India’s first commercially available 8-qubit superconducting quantum computing system.
The initiative is positioned as a major step in advancing India’s quantum technology ecosystem. Under the collaboration, Alliance University and QpiAI will jointly deploy the QVidya 8-qubit superconducting quantum system along with the QpiAI Explorer platform at the new centre.
Located in Bengaluru’s technology corridor, the AU QUASAR facility aims to serve as a hub for more than 200 global technology companies, defence and aerospace public sector units, and thousands of startups, while aligning with the National Quantum Mission.
“This partnership embodies our vision of making quantum computing accessible to every Indian innovator, researcher, and enterprise,” said Dr. Nagendra Nagaraja, Founder & CEO of QpiAI. “By combining QpiAI's indigenous and sovereign quantum technology with Alliance University's academic excellence and strategic location, we are creating a national reference site that will accelerate India's quantum computing adoption and contribute meaningfully to the National Quantum Mission goals.”
Abhay G Chebbi, Pro-Chancellor of Alliance University, stated: “AU QUASAR is not merely a reference installation; it is designed as a living model of academic-industry collaboration in its truest sense. It will integrate degree programs, research, enterprise engagement, and Quantum Computing as a Service (QCaaS) under one roof. As one of the very few structured quantum education initiatives in India, AU QUASAR will help build the national quantum talent pipeline while creating sustainable commercial and research outcomes.”
Last year, the Bengaluru-based startup developed an eight-qubit quantum computer at VIT-AP University in Amaravati.
