Amaravati Quantum Valley to drive India's quantum computing revolution

Vijayawada: With quantum computing set to usher in revolutionary changes in many sectors, the proposed Amaravati Quantum Valley (AQV) is expected to play a key role in India's 'quantum mission'.
The AP govt organised a curtain-raiser event with representatives from IBM, TCS, and LTI Mindtree as a precursor to the workshop to be held on June 30 to mark 'National Quantum Mission Day'.
Explaining the steps taken by the govt towards the development of Quantum Valley, PS Pradyumna, secretary to the chief minister, said Andhra Pradesh is at the forefront of leading the quantum computing revolution that is set to unfold in the next three-four years.
"Quantum computers can perform parallel processing in solving complex problems that conventional computers cannot solve or would take years to solve. For example, if a conventional computer takes one month to crack a password, a quantum computer will crack it within a minute through parallel processing. With this kind of speed, all existing cybersecurity systems will become susceptible to cyber-attacks, and there will be an inevitable need to upgrade to solutions like post-quantum cryptography," he explained, while adding that many companies have already started upgrading their systems.

As pioneers in computing and having a perfect ecosystem with a policy framework in place, AP can lead the change from conventional to quantum computing, not only in India but across the world, Pradyumna said. The state govt is inviting experts and end users to the workshop on June 30, during which the 'Amaravati Quantum Declaration' would be announced setting future goals.
ITE&C secretary Bhaskar Katamaneni said an ecosystem is being built to enable industries to bring their challenges and develop algorithms using the quantum computing facility. "This will be the first full-stack quantum infrastructure in India, which can be accessed remotely by users across the country," he said, adding that the state govt expects that around 90,000 to 100,000 high-end jobs will be created once the Quantum Valley is fully operational.
Prof Anil Prabhakar from IIT Madras, Amith Singhee, director of IBM Research India, and Vijaya Rao from LTI Mindtree attended the event.

South Delhi farmhouse heist: Businessman held hostage, robbed of Rs 30 lakh; taken to Gurgaon CNG pump for more cash
Representative Image NEW DELHI: A city businessman was held hostage and robbed of over Rs 30 lakh in cash by four armed robbers at his farmhouse in south Delhi's Ghitorni on Monday night. They also took the businessman hostage in his car and went to his office in Gurgaon where they robbed him of more cash. The police are learned to have apprehended two suspects and raids are on to nab others. According to police, the incident occurred on Monday night when four armed robbers arrived at the farmhouse of Karan Chopra, CEO of a naturan gas firm, and took him and his guard hostage at gunpoint. The robbers tied the guard's hands and feet and entered the farmhouse, where they found Chopra alone. His parents had travelled abroad a few days ago, leaving him behind. The robbers looted Rs10 lakh from the farmhouse, ransacking premises & searching for valuables.

The Vasant Kunj (South) police station has registered a case under various sections, including armed robbery, and begun an investigation. When TOI visited the spot, they found heavy security in the area and at the farmhouse. In a statement, Delhi Police said: "On June 23, information regarding robbery was received after which the SHO and his team rushed to the spot and met with the complainant, Karan Chopra, who is engaged in the business of city gas distribution. In his complaint, he said that 3-4 persons forcefully entered his house and looted around Rs 30 lakh. Forensic team was called at the scene for crime spot inspection and a case was registered. Some suspects have been traced while others have been located and raids are on to catch them." The police are also investigating the role of a security guard, who was also held hostage, and questioning him. The cops suspect the possibility of an inside job, as the robbers seemed to know about the collection centre and the large sum of money that could be obtained there. The cops are reviewing the records of workers who have been employed at the farmhouse over the past two years, as construction work has been ongoing. They are also questioning local residents and gathering CCTV footage to get clues about the suspects. The police have reviewed the security of the area and stepped up patrolling. The entry and exit points are being monitored, they said.
