Amaravati Quantum Valley Achieves 4 Kelvin Milestone in Indigenous Quantum Hardware
Amaravati Quantum Valley (AQV) has achieved a significant milestone by reaching 4 Kelvin (-269°C) using an indigenous dilution refrigerator at the Quantum Reference Facility in Medha Towers, Amaravati. This marks one of the coldest temperatures recorded in India and advances the country's efforts to develop a domestic quantum technology ecosystem. Initiated in 2025, the project aims to build a homegrown quantum hardware supply chain, with support from Andhra Pradesh's government and partnerships with startups and research institutions. The facility enables testing of key quantum components, positioning Amaravati as a hub for advanced technologies.
