India Unveils First System Leveraging Quantum Computing

An Indian tech startup with the government’s backing has unveiled the first full-stack quantum computing system in India, marking a significant moment in the nation’s advanced research and deep-tech journey and bringing the rapidly expanding Asian economy a step closer to achieving technological self-reliance. During the recent World Quantum Day, Bengaluru-based startup QpiAI introduced QpiAI-Indus, a quantum computer with no equals in India, and propelled the country to the top echelons of quantum computing research.

Currently the most powerful quantum computing system in the country, QpiAI-Indus was developed under a government initiative dubbed the National Quantum Mission (NQM), which has a budget of $735 million. The initiative’s goal is to accelerate growth in India’s nascent quantum computing industry and establish it as a global leader in quantum research by the end of the decade.

Consequently, the recent launch of the QpiAI-Indus quantum computing system cements India’s position in global quantum research and highlights the country’s aspirations to lead the world in adopting quantum computing. A statement from the Ministry of Science and Technology revealed that QpiAI’s quantum computer is the first in the country to offer full-stack architecture.

This architecture includes integrated control systems, quantum hardware, and scalable quantum software that can enable hybrid computing applications by leveraging both artificial intelligence (AI) and classical high-performance computing (HPC). The system also features 25 superconducting qubits and has a roadmap to scale up to 128 noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) qubits within 24 months.

Additionally, QpiAI plans to achieve 100 logical qubits by 2030, which would expand the use cases for real-world quantum applications dramatically. The startup’s recent announcement positions it as a leading player not just in India, but in the global quantum computing ecosystem. QpiAI was founded in 2019 and secured funding from the Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI).

It currently has 11 patent applications on file and is actively developing quantum computing infrastructure on a national scale to aid in the development of quantum skills and accelerate the technology’s adoption. An official statement from the startup said its goal is to make quantum computing more accessible, practical, and globally influential.

Its recently-unveiled quantum computing system represents a bold step toward building a quantum-enabled future that can transform sectors such as logistics, materials science, drug discovery, climate action, life sciences, and more, the company stated.

The QpiAI-Indus launch is also aligned with the National Quantum Mission’s broader goal of accelerating quantum development across industries and building a world-leading quantum ecosystem in India by 2030. India’s successful unveiling of QpiAI-Indus signals its emergence as a serious contender in quantum innovation, with the potential to transform industries and inspire a new wave of scientific advancement in the coming decade.

Given that companies like D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) are also focused on advancing quantum computing around the world, it may not be long before these technologies go mainstream in all industries.
