Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the government of Andhra Pradesh to participate in Amaravati Quantum Valley (AQV) initiative.
The government of Andhra Pradesh has taken a step in shaping India’s quantum future with the initiative of setting up AQV. The project is located in Amaravati and involves state-level partnerships, infrastructure, and training programs. AQV aims to create an integrated quantum ecosystem uniting hardware manufacturing, software development, talent nurturing, and research excellence.
Through this partnership, C-DOT proposes to set up a centre of excellence (CoE) in quantum communication and security solutions, along with allied areas like privacy enhancement technologies (PETs), in AQV. C-DOT will focus on quantum communication solutions at the proposed centre at AQV.
C-DOT’s expertise in the quantum communication field will help in providing the necessary resources and skill development to emerging players in India. It will support research and testing in the National Quantum Mission (NQM) aligned areas of quantum security solutions, along with the development of PETs to ensure compliance with Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology’s (MeitY) Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) framework. It will also focus on cost-effective sub-component development for quantum communication systems and establish an integrated testbed for quantum security, thereby strengthening the AQV mandate, fostering a quantum-safe ecosystem, and enhancing digital privacy and data protection across the nation.
