quantum-computing55,000 Indian University Students Into a Quantum Computing Course - The Quantum Insider
The quantum workforce is getting a big boost, according to Indian media. Andhra Pradesh has enrolled 55,000 university students in a single, coordinated quantum computing course, a scale that signals how quickly India’s states are moving to build a workforce for a technology widely seen as strategic for science, industry and national competitiveness, according to reporting by The Hindu. The course — “Quantum Computing: Quantum Algorithms and Qiskit” — will begin January 19 and is being delivered through the National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning, or NPTEL, as reported by The Hindu. Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education organized the program and it is open to students across engineering and science institutions in the state. The initiative places Andhra Pradesh among the most aggressive subnational efforts globally to scale quantum education, moving the subject beyond elite research labs and into mainstream university classrooms. According to The Hindu, the course will be taught by faculty from IIT Madras and industry specialists associated with IBM Quantum. Instruction will focus on quantum algorithms, quantum error correction and programming using Qiskit, IBM’s open-source quantum software framework. Rather than emphasizing theory alone, the course is designed to provide hands-on experience with how quantum computers are programmed and stabilized against errors, an area that remains one of the biggest barriers to practical quantum systems, The Hindu reported. Students are being trained in tools and concepts aligned with those used by major technology firms and early-stage quantum startups. Faculty delivering the course include researchers and engineers from academia and industry with experience in both fundamental physics and applied quantum systems, according to The Hindu. Beyond coursework, APSCHE has linked the program to a set of incentives intended to connect high-performing students directly to India’s advanced research ecosystem.

Insider Brief Andhra Pradesh has enrolled 55,000 university students in a single NPTEL quantum computing course, marking one of the largest coordinated quantum workforce training efforts undertaken by a state government. The program, organized by the Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education, provides hands-on instruction in quantum algorithms, error correction, and Qiskit programming delivered by faculty from IIT Madras and IBM Quantum. Top-performing students will receive research exposure visits, internships, and placement support, aligning the initiative with India’s National Quantum Mission and the state’s push to build a global quantum talent pipeline.

researchAnyone from Andhra to win Nobel in quantum research will get Rs-100 crore award: CM Naidu - Moneycontrol
See the top gainers, losers, invest and get updated what's happening in the crypto market Discover the secret world of unlisted shares — analyse India's top pre-IPO companies and invest before they hit the markets Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Tuesday promised a Rs 100-crore award to anybody who bags a Nobel Prize in quantum computing for their research carried out in Andhra Pradesh. Addressing thousands of students virtually, the chief minister underscored that the southern state will work towards developing next-generation skills, create thousands of high-value jobs, adopt a product-centric approach, develop all types of quantum computers and achieve a complete supply chain in manufacturing quantum computers. Andhra CM unveils vision to catapult Amaravati as top quantum computing hub He unveiled the state's Quantum Vision to catapult the greenfield capital city of Amaravati, which will host the Quantum Valley, as one of the world's top five quantum computing hubs. "Andhra Pradesh Vision: Quantum Valley in Amaravati. Andhra Pradesh will not follow, we will lead...everybody is prepared to produce quantum computers in Amaravati. Almost all 80 per cent or 85 per cent component partners are ready," said Naidu. Within two years, the quantum computers will be produced in Amaravati, and added that if anybody wants to launch any knowledge company or technology, they have to come to Amaravati, the CM expressed confidence. Moreover, he advised students to shun traditional thinking in favour of innovation and a product-based future. The virtual event was attended by representatives of leading technology firms, the directors of IIT Madras and IIT Tirupati, and thousands of technology students. Addressing the gathering, the Chief Minister underscored the significance of the announcement, pointing out that the monetary component of the actual Nobel Prize is far smaller than the reward now being offered by the state.
