India eyes global quantum computer push — and QpiAI is its chosen vehicle


QpiAI, an Indian startup that integrates AI and quantum computing for enterprise use cases, has raised $32 million in a new funding round co-led by the Indian government.

Among these companies, the Bengaluru-headquartered startup, which has subsidiaries in the U.S. and Finland, says it has built India’s first full-stack quantum computer, called QpiAI-Indus, which it launched in April with 25 superconducting qubits. Founded in 2019, QpiAI says it integrates quantum computing and AI to provide optimization capabilities in areas such as manufacturing, industrial, transportation, finance, pharma, and materials. The Indian government’s program is also backing startups such as QNuLabs (working on quantum-safe networks), Dimira Technologies (cryogenic cables), Prenishq (diode-laser systems), and QuPrayog (optical atomic clocks).
