SRM University-A.P. hosts three-day Quantum Computing conclave

SRM University-A.P. connected Tuesday (March 24, 2026) inaugurated a three-day Quantum Computing Conclave and a 36-hour nationalist hackathon, aimed astatine strengthening foundational cognition and manufacture consciousness of quantum exertion and related fields among students.

The conclave featured experts successful quantum exertion including Sridhar C.V., Mission Director, Amaravati Quantum Valley; Dhinakaran Vinayagamurthy, Manager, IBM Quantum India; Uday Sannigrahi, Quantum Application Engineer, Infinipoint Tech; and Kumar Gautam, Director and CEO, Quantum Research and Centre of Excellence (QRACE) and EGREEN QUANTA, India, who volition pb grooming sessions, workshops and radical discussions astatine the three-day event.

Vice-Chancellor of SRM University-A.P. Ch Satish Kumar highlighted the value of quantum probe and education. “Andhra Pradesh made a committedness to India and the satellite connected quantum exertion and SRM-A.P. is arrogant to beryllium portion of it. We are the archetypal world spouse of the Amaravati Quantum Valley Project,” helium said.

Dean-School of Engineering and Sciences (SEAS) C.V. Tomy and Dean-Quantum Technology, SRM-A.P. Somnath Bhattacharyya elaborated connected the scope and opportunities successful the evolving tract of quantum computing and underscored SRM-A.P.’s program to make a mid-sized quantum machine and a diamond-based quantum machine connected campus.

Mr. Sridhar C.V. highlighted the Andhra Pradesh government’s ambitious imaginativeness to found a quantum ecosystem successful Amaravati and expressed his appreciation for SRM University successful extending enactment for mounting up the archetypal Quantum Reference Facility successful India. “It is important that India achieves tech sovereignty. With the distinguished absorption connected Quantum Computing and Technologies, the A.P. authorities aims to found Amaravati Quantum Valley arsenic 1 of the apical 5 planetary hubs for quantum probe and technologies,” helium said.

Mr. Gautam said the apical performers successful the 36-hour hackathon volition beryllium rewarded with internship oregon placement opportunities on with start-up enactment astatine QRACE, a probe and innovation level that connects scientists, students, and manufacture experts.

The lawsuit is organised by the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, SRM-A.P. successful collaboration with GeeksforGeeks Student Body of SRM-A.P. and Quantum Nexus pupil club.
