How AWS is helping federal agencies lead in quantum computing and post-quantum security
This blog explains how AWS is supporting federal agencies on two fronts following recent White House Executive Orders on quantum technology: delivering fault-tolerant quantum computers through its collaboration with QuEra Computing on Amazon Braket by 2028, and leading the migration to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) to protect against future quantum-enabled attacks before the 2030–2031 federal deadlines.
MeitY Quantum Computing Applications Lab (QCAL) boosts scientific and industry focus for its second cohort
In India, the Quantum Computing Applications Lab (QCAL), a collaboration between the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and AWS, announced that it will strengthen its scientific research and industry focus for its second cohort, through new support from the Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser (PSA) to the Government of India, as well as Indian advanced technology consultancies and AWS Partners Mphasis and Fractal. The MeitY QCAL will accept applications for the second cohort later this month.
Building the first quantum computing applications lab in India
The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) in India is establishing a Quantum Computing Applications Lab, in collaboration with AWS, to accelerate quantum computing-led research and development and enable new scientific discoveries. This is MeitY’s first initiative in the country to provide scientific, academic, and developer communities with access to a quantum computing development environment in the cloud. This is also the first quantum computing applications lab on AWS Cloud to support a government’s science and technology mission at a country level.
