Bengaluru startup QpiAI, which specializes in deep-tech, has developed "Indus," India's strongest quantum computer so far, with 25 superconducting qubits. Indus was announced on World Quantum Day and is the nation's first complete-stack quantum computing system, combining next-generation quantum hardware, control electronics that can scale, and AI-tuned software for hybrid quantum-classical computing.
Indus boasts single-qubit gate fidelity of 99.7% and two-qubit fidelity of 96%, with robust error mitigation and surface code stabilization. The platform is designed for real-world applications in drug discovery, materials science, logistics, and climate modeling, accessible via QpiAI’s private datacenters and public cloud.
QpiAI is one of eight startups chosen under India's National Quantum Mission, backed by the Department of Science & Technology. The firm aims to scale its technology quickly, reaching 64-qubit and 128-qubit systems in 2025 and 2027, and a 1,000-qubit system in 2028.
With 11 patents filed and strong industry backing, QpiAI’s Indus positions India at the forefront of the global quantum race, promising breakthroughs in science, industry, and national innovation.
