PRESS RELEASE — QuantWare, the world-leading provider of quantum processors, today announced that it has signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) with the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), India’s premier R&D organization of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology. Through this LoI, QuantWare and C-DAC will explore the co-development of hybrid quantum computing technologies to support government laboratories and academics pursuing quantum computing R&D.
“C-DAC continues to play a pivotal role in shaping India’s advanced computing landscape, both as a leader in high-performance computing and as the nodal agency for the Government of India’s ChipIN initiative, which is focused on strengthening domestic semiconductor design capabilities. Our partnership with Quantware, is a strategic step toward developing indigenous cryogenic electronics, superconducting quantum hardware, and securing access to advanced processor fabrication. This partnership is poised to drive impactful advancements in electronics and IT, reinforcing India’s position in next-generation technologies”, said Shri. E. Magesh, Director General, C-DAC.
“Under the ChipIN initiative, our collaboration with Quantware—a global frontrunner in superconducting quantum processors—marks a significant step toward accelerating quantum innovation. Together, we aim to co-develop advanced cryogenic electronics that not only advance quantum computing technologies but also stimulate intellectual property in this critical domain. The initiative will significantly enhance India’s quantum ecosystem and reinforce our leadership in the future of computing,” said Dr. S D Sudarsan, Executive Director, C-DAC Bangalore.
“By combining C-DAC’s renowned expertise in high-performance computing with QuantWare’s leadership in large scale ultra fast Quantum Processors powered by VIO, we can co-develop some of the world’s most powerful hybrid computing systems,” said Matt Rijlaarsdam, CEO of QuantWare. “This collaboration is an important step toward advancing quantum sovereignty and delivering state-of-the-art processors for India’s national ambitions.”
The partnership is closely aligned with MeitY’s vision under the Chip-IN program and its Quantum Technology initiatives, reinforcing India’s commitment to building global collaborations in advanced semiconductor and quantum domains. It also complements the vision of India’s National Quantum Mission (NQM), which seeks to establish a strong ecosystem in quantum technologies. Together, these initiatives reinforce India’s ambition to become a global hub in next-generation computing, while further strengthening C-DAC’s role as a key national institution in advancing quantum and HPC convergence.
