QpiAI to Install Indigenous 8-Qubit Quantum Computer in Andhra Pradesh This November
QpiAI chose Andhra Pradesh for the installation after receiving a warm and proactive response from the state government.
An eight-qubit quantum computer developed by Bengaluru-based QpiAI will be installed at VIT-AP University in Amaravati this November. Backed by the National Quantum Mission (NQM), the project marks a key step in QpiAI’s expansion.
Andhra Pradesh CM N. Chandrababu Naidu announced the milestone on X, highlighting its potential to transform agriculture, healthcare, and water management.
Earlier this year, it also unveiled QVidya, India’s first 8-qubit superconducting quantum computer designed exclusively for academic institutions and research labs.
QVidya is part of QpiAI’s full-stack quantum ecosystem, integrating a modular quantum computer system, an 8-qubit Quantum Processor Unit (QPU), advanced control and readout electronics, a GUI-based algorithm development platform, and quantum learning and simulation tools.
QpiAI chose Andhra Pradesh for the installation after receiving a warm and proactive response from the state government.
Meanwhile, the company is also acquiring 10 acres from the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board, where it plans to invest ₹500 crore over the next five to seven years to establish a state-of-the-art quantum and AI research facility in Bengaluru.
Recently, the Bengaluru-based startup raised $32 million in a Series A round led by Avataar Ventures and India’s National Quantum Mission (NQM).
The funding will speed up the development of QpiAI’s utility-scale quantum computer and support its global growth plans. The company currently operates out of India, Finland, and the United States.
