India Makes a Quantum Leap: QpiAI Unveils the Country’s First 25-Qubit Superconducting Quantum Computer

Here’s your translation:

Coinciding with World Quantum Day, the Indian startup QpiAI has announced the launch of QpiAI-Indus, the first complete quantum system developed in India. This machine incorporates 25 superconducting qubits and marks a strategic milestone within the framework of the National Quantum Mission (NQM) of the Indian government, aimed at accelerating the development of quantum technologies in the country.

With this initiative, India joins a small group of countries capable of designing and operating domestically produced quantum computers, enhancing its technological autonomy and innovation capabilities in strategic sectors like life sciences, logistics, transportation, materials design, sustainability, and climate action.

QpiAI | Vertically Integrated AI and Quantum Computing

A full-stack quantum platform made in India

QpiAI-Indus is not just a quantum processor, but a full-stack ecosystem that integrates multiple state-of-the-art components. The system combines:

  • Superconducting quantum processors, operated at temperatures close to absolute zero using advanced cryogenic infrastructure.
  • A proprietary quantum-HPC software, optimized to maximize the performance of hybrid quantum-classical algorithms.
  • AI-assisted optimization tools, enabling better utilization of available hardware.
  • A platform as a service (QpiAISaaS) that provides remote access to the quantum computer through a unified interface.

This integrated design enables researchers and companies to access real quantum solutions without needing to manage the technical complexity of the infrastructure.

Ambitious paths: towards 128 NISQ qubits by 2026 and 100 logical qubits by 2030

According to the company, its roadmap aims to expand the current system to 128 NISQ (Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum) qubits in the next two years, with a long-term goal of achieving 100 fully functional logical qubits by 2030.

This evolution seeks to overcome the limitations of noisy quantum computing and advance towards quantum error correction, a critical stage for achieving truly practical and scalable applications.

A strategic commitment under the umbrella of the Indian government

QpiAI has been one of the eight companies selected by the Government of India to participate in its ambitious National Quantum Mission, launched in 2023 to promote the development of quantum technologies in computing, communication, metrology, sensors, and materials.

In addition to this institutional support, QpiAI has received financial backing from the Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) and closed a Pre-Series A funding round for $6.5 million in 2024. The company, led by physicist and entrepreneur Dr. Nagendra Nagaraja, has an international presence with offices in the United States, Canada, Finland, and India.

A message to the world on World Quantum Day

In a statement published on LinkedIn, QpiAI emphasized the transformative role of quantum computing and its commitment to a global vision: “World Quantum Day symbolizes the path toward a quantum-driven future. With QpiAI-Indus, we are advancing deep science and frontier technology to build practical solutions with real impact.”

The company has called on the scientific, industrial, and educational communities to join this transformative journey, which aims to democratize access to quantum computing and position India as a key player in the international race to dominate this disruptive technology.
