InfoSecBulletin Cybersecurity for mankind
India has taken a monumental stride toward next-generation technology by initiating its first Quantum Computing Village, a state-of-the-art project in Amaravati, Andhra Pradesh, spearheaded by the Real-Time Governance Society (RTGS).
Supported by major companies like IBM, TCS, and L&T, the initiative seeks to develop a top-tier ecosystem for quantum hardware and research, placing India at the leading edge of global quantum technology.

The move shows the country’s strong goal to lead in quantum computing, a field that could transform industries like cybersecurity.
A strategy meeting at the Andhra Pradesh Secretariat brought together key stakeholders like IBM, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), and Larsen & Toubro (L&T) to plan the development roadmap.
The main goals are to finalize the infrastructure, collaboration models, and design specifications for India’s first quantum computing hub.
The facility will introduce advanced technology to the region and serve as a collaborative space for researchers, industry experts, and academic institutions from India and around the world.
Project officials report that Quantum Village will cover 50 acres and feature an iconic building designed by L&T and conceptualized by IBM.
Inside the Village: Quantum System Two, Data Centers, and Shared Research Ecosystem
This initiative focuses on deploying IBM’s Quantum System Two, a leading quantum computing system. Patryk Gumann from IBM Quantum presented the technical specifications. The system will need a custom data center integrated into the village’s design to support high-performance computing and AI tasks.
L&T is collaborating with IBM and TCS on architectural design and civil execution to create a world-class infrastructure, which includes:
High-fidelity quantum hardware hosting
Modular expansion capabilities
Secure quantum networking support
A key innovation is the teamwork model: universities and companies will have shared access to resources, encouraging innovation while keeping data secure and maintaining scientific standards.
Bhaskar Katamaneni, Secretary of RTGS, highlighted the importance of creating a sustainable ecosystem with lasting research capabilities. Pradyumna P.S., Special Secretary, announced that the Chief Minister has prioritized fast-tracking the project for technological development in Andhra Pradesh.
Beyond the Blueprint: India’s Global Vision for Quantum Excellence
The Quantum Computing Village is more than just a facility; it’s a vision for global quantum innovation. It aims to create a vibrant ecosystem that attracts researchers, startups, and enterprises. The model incorporates international best practices while addressing India’s specific challenges and opportunities.
The village will integrate:
Quantum hardware testing and development zones
Collaborative AI and HPC research spaces
A robust talent pipeline through academic partnerships
The strategy meeting included C.V. Sridhar from COIN and the India Strategic Initiative, as well as senior leaders from IBM India and L&T, such as L. Venkata Subramaniam, Indrajit Mitra, Vijayan, and G. Ramakrishna.
