The Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education has marked a milestone in India’s quantum journey in the backdrop of the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology 2025. The achievement coincided with the successful conclusion of the Amaravati Quantum Valley Hackathon 2025 and the laying of the foundation stone for the Amaravati Quantum Valley, said APSCHE Chairman K. Madhu Murthy.
In a statement on Tuesday, Prof. Murthy said the Amaravati Quantum Valley project reaffirmed Andhra Pradesh’s commitment to positioning Amaravati as India’s quantum gateway. He said the initiative aligns with the global vision of IYQ 2025, which commemorates 100 years of quantum mechanics and seeks to accelerate the real-world impact of quantum science.
Drawing inspiration from the Amaravati Quantum Declaration of June 30, 2025, and the National Quantum Mission, APSCHE moved swiftly to translate policy into action. It designed and implemented a large-scale quantum capacity-building programme, under which over 1,000 faculty members and 1,00,000 students across the State received training, he said.
Prof. Murthy said Andhra Pradesh recorded a positive Gender Parity Index, with higher participation of girl students in quantum technologies, calling it an exceptional achievement against global trends.
