Andhra Pradesh has enrolled 55,000 students connected a wide quantum skilling people connected “Quantum Computing: Quantum Algorithms and Qiskit” done the National Programme connected Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) acceptable to statesman from January 19 (Monday).
The programme is being organised by Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE). The NPTEL people which volition beryllium delivered by eminent module from IIT-Madras and IBM Quantum volition connection hands-on vulnerability to quantum algorithms, quantum mistake correction and Qiskit programming to equip students with globally applicable skills demanded by manufacture leaders specified arsenic IBM, Google, Microsoft, Intel and emerging quantum start-ups.
Expert module roped successful to present the people see Associate Professor successful the Department of Physics astatine IIT-Madras, Prabha Mandayam, Senior Research Scientist astatine IBM Research, India Research Labs, Bangalore, Anupama Ray and Senior Engineer IBM Quantum Ambassador Sheshashayee Raghunathan.
As a assemblage inducement and designation of excellence, the top-performing and astir committed students volition beryllium sponsored for vulnerability visits to I-Hubs crossed IITS and IISc, fixed internship opportunities successful nationalist and planetary quantum labs and would beryllium supported for vocation placements successful high-end quantum exertion roles. These initiatives volition make a nonstop pipeline from State classrooms to the world’s astir precocious probe and innovation centres.
The apical 12 institutions with highest enrolment successful Quantum Computing (NPTEL) are Pragati Engineering College astatine Surampalem (3,774 students); Kallam Haranatha Reddy Institute of Technology successful Guntur (2,616 students); NRI Institute of Technology successful Krishna territory (2,550 students); Annamacharya University astatine Rajampet (1,998 students); Lakireddy Bali Reddy College of Engineering astatine Mylavaram (1,873 students); Shri Vishnu Engineering College for Women astatine Bhimavaram (1,758 students); Raghu Engineering College successful Visakhapatnam (1,678 students); Sri Padmavati Mahila Viswavidyalaya successful Tirupati (1,357 students); QIS College of Engineering and Technology successful Ongole (1330 students); Aditya College of Engineering and Technology astatine Surampalem (1,323 students); Siddhartha Academy of Higher Education successful Vijayawada (1,151 students) and Madanapalle Institute of Technology and Science successful Madanapalle (1,1000 students).
“Quantum exertion volition specify the economical and strategical powerfulness of nations successful the coming decades. Andhra Pradesh, done Amaravati Quantum Valley and our concern with NPTEL, IITs, IISc, and planetary manufacture leaders, is laying the instauration for a aboriginal wherever students volition not lone enactment but pb the satellite successful quantum innovation,” said APSCHE Chairman K. Madhu Murthy.
He added that grooming 55,000 students successful 1 coordinated ngo was not a specified world achievement. “It is simply a declaration that Andhra Pradesh is acceptable to signifier the adjacent technological revolution."
Mr. Murthy said APSCHE volition proceed to grow Quantum Innovation Centres (QICs) and Swayam section chapters to fortify industry-academia partnerships and align with the National Quantum Mission, AQV and galore different start-ups similar QpiAi, Qkrishi, Qualcomm, Quantum AI Global, Qubitech, Qbraid and others to guarantee that Andhra Pradesh becomes a planetary endowment powerhouse successful Quantum Computing, Quantum AI, Quantum Communication and Quantum Cybersecurity.
