WISER Crosses 50,000 Student Registrations in India's Largest Quantum Training Initiative

WASHINGTON - Dec. 10, 2025 - PRLog -- The Washington Institute for STEM, Entrepreneurship and Research (WISER) today announced that its statewide quantum-technology learning initiative, delivered in partnership with the Government of Andhra Pradesh, has officially surpassed 50,000 student registrations, making it the largest quantum training program in the world.

The program is a core pillar of Andhra Pradesh's new Quantum Policy to develop Amaravati as India's dedicated Quantum Valley, an emerging hub for quantum research, education, and industry deployment under India's National Quantum Mission. WISER leads this initiative alongside partners Qubitech, Qkrishi, and AQV, with participation spanning universities, engineering colleges, and technical institutes across the state. Speaking on the rapid growth of quantum education in the state, Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu emphasized Andhra Pradesh's commitment to "taking a quantum leap" in technology adoption and workforce development, positioning Amaravati as a globally competitive deep-tech center.

A Platform for National and International Impact
With 50,000+ students now enrolled in the introduction to quantum course, the program will expand in 2026 into deeper technical modules, hands-on experimentation, and industry-aligned research pathways, thus offering a scalable model for nations building quantum-ready talent. This milestone also aligns with the 2025 International Year of Quantum.

WISER's global ecosystem work includes its role in Elevate Quantum, the U.S. Department of Commerce-funded Tech Hub in the Mountain West, and its support for major international hackathons partnering with NYU Abu Dhabi to run the world's largest in-person quantum hackathon, collaborating with QubitHub to launch the largest quantum event in Latin America, and working with the Open Quantum Institute at CERN, Geneva to democratize quantum knowledge across global borders.

The End-to-End Quantum Innovation Pipeline
WISER's portfolio includes WISER Solutions Launchpad, which delivers applied quantum research with global commercial and academic partners, including recent projects exploring hybrid quantum-classical optimization with investment bank Vanguard and quantum machine learning for energy-grid management with E.ON. WISER has also supported the growth of emerging startups in India, including BQP, a high-performance quantum optimization platform, and Pramatra, a deep-tech quantum encryption startup.

WISER also operates the Insider Program, providing students and early-career researchers early access to emerging quantum tools and platforms, and is launching WISER Microgrants, which support researchers and developers building new tools, open-source software, and foundational components across the quantum technology stack.
