The MeitY Quantum Computing Applications Lab established with the support from AWS is a significant step in India’s science and technology journey,” said Ajay Sawhney, Secretary, MeitY.

The lab will start operating in March 2021 and will focus on empowering advances in manufacturing, healthcare, agriculture, aerospace engineering and more in order to strengthen the economy. Apart from providing access to Amazon Braket, which helps users to develop and design quantum algorithms, test and troubleshoot them on quantum computers and focus on the innovation. AWS will also provide technical and programmatic support for new quantum computing workloads, the company said.
