Andhra Pradesh government on Wednesday held a curtain-raiser to announce "India's first full-stack Quantum Valley" here under the National Quantum Mission, highlighting its vision and an upcoming workshop. According to a statement from the chief minister's office, the project will span 50 acres and integrate quantum computing, artificial intelligence, semiconductor research and defence innovation, fostering high-end employment and frontier technological capability. "This initiative will place Andhra Pradesh at the forefront of quantum and deep-tech advancement in Asia," said the statement, confirming the launch on January 2026. Quantum Valley aligns with Amaravati's goal of becoming the "world's first city powered entirely by renewable energy, using solar, wind and hydro energy sources efficiently". Mandatory rooftop solar panels will be installed on all key buildings, supported by strict green building norms to ensure reduced carbon emissions and optimised energy performance. The
