Karnataka to focus on ‘quality in quantum’, as preparations under way for Q-City, sectoral infrastructure

Bengaluru: With the aim of establishing Karnataka as a global epicentre of quantum technology, the state government is aiming for significant developmental milestones in the construction of  Quantum City by 2028, Minister for Minor Irrigation, Science, and Technology, NS Boseraju recently said.

Speaking after physically inspecting over 6 acres allotted for Quantum City near Hesaraghatta, the Minister emphasized that Karnataka was already a national leader in the quantum sector and was now moving towards large-scale execution.

The proposed Q-City is envisioned as a world-class hub that will house pilot fabrication lines, common computing infrastructure, and cutting-edge research labs. It will also provide dedicated workspaces for startups and advanced incubation facilities to nurture the next generation of deep-tech entrepreneurs.

“Our government has already released a comprehensive Quantum Roadmap to foster research and innovation. Deliberations with the Quantum taskforce led by senior IISc professors and other key stakeholders will commence shortly to explore an effective PPP model for this project,” the Minister explained.

Following the inspection, Boseraju visited the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences campus where he engaged in deep-tech consultations with resident scientists to understand future technical requirements, asserting that ICTS will play a pivotal role in the scientific evolution of Quantum City.
