Tech Mahindra Ltd.

Tech Mahindra has entered into partnership with I-HUB Quantum Technology Foundation (I-HUB QTF), a technology hub hosted by the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Pune, to accelerate the development of India’s indigenous trapped-ion quantum computing capabilities. I-HUB QTF is developing a full stack 20 qubit quantum computer based on trapped-ion platform.

As part of the partnership, Tech Mahindra and I-HUB QTF will develop middleware for a trapped-ion quantum computer. The project is anticipated to be completed by December 2026, with commercialization activities expected to begin thereafter. This middleware layer enables seamless communication between the trapped-ion quantum hardware and its underlying control electronics, supporting efficient execution of quantum workloads. Leveraging its expertise in engineering and advanced technologies, Tech Mahindra will help build a scalable software foundation for the trapped-ion quantum computing platform.

The partnership aims to create end value by accelerating access to indigenous quantum infrastructure to Indian researchers, startups, students, enterprises and strategic sector innovators. This enables the users to experiment, build skills and develop application in areas such as drug discovery, logistics, cryptography and defence.
