QUANTUM 
COMPUTING LAB BY 
MEITY AND AMAZON
INTRODUCTIO
N
• The Ministry of Electronics and 
Information Technology (MeitY) 
has announced the establishment 
of a Quantum Computing 
Applications Lab in partnership 
with Amazon Web Services (AWS).

OPPORTUNITY
• The area of quantum computing 
is at a very nascent stage in the 
country. 
• The Lab is a great opportunity for 
our researchers, whether they are 
in educational institutions, in 
research labs or in the startup 
environment

QUANTUM COMPUTING
• With quantum computing, there is 
still a tremendous amount that all 
of us have to learn together. 
• What exactly will it be useful for, 
how does it get applied to the 
scenario that we have within the 
country, these are the questions 
we must ask.

STEERING COMMITTEE
• MeITY and AWS will call for 
proposals from the scientific, 
researcher community in 
February and early March as part 
of the announcement. 
• A steering committee will then go 
through these proposals and 
approve ones which align with the 
goals decided on national 
priorities.

IDENTIFY PROBLEM 
STATEMENTS
• The Lab will identify quantum 
computing problem statements 
for experimentation from among 
Central and State Governments, 
Research Institutions, and 
Academia.

AWS CREDITS 
• The chosen proposals will get 
access to AWS credits to use the 
quantum computing cloud 
platform from Amazon.

HOW THE APPLICANTS 
WILL GET ACCESS?
• The Lab will then provide the 
applicants with access to 
quantum computing hardware, 
simulators, and programming 
tools, on-demand and at no cost, 
via Amazon Braket.

FIRST LAB ALIGNED TO A 
GOVERNMENT MISSION 
• The Quantum Computing 
Application Lab in collaboration 
with AWS is the first lab on AWS 
that’s aligned to a government 
mission. 
• Government is trying to pull all of 
the resources needed to really 
build the capacity and the skills 
within India to be able to 
propagate this technology in a 
meaningful way.

DEVELOPMENT 
ENVIRONMENT
• The company wants to 
democratize quantum computing, 
and provide the right 
development environments that 
can take the heavy lifting away 
from researchers and developers 
working on quantum algorithms.
