Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Tuesday launched a quantum reference facility with the aim of building India's "first sovereign hardware ecosystem" and accelerating indigenous manufacturing of advanced computing systems. The facility has been launched at a private college in the greenfield capital city, dedicating the AQRF, which comprises Amaravati 1S and Amaravati 1Q, to the nation. According to the PTI, the systems are developed under the Amaravati Quantum Valley initiative, marking India's "first indigenously built" open-access quantum computers, designed, assembled, and tested within the country with a supply chain spanning multiple institutions.<h3>Amaravati, a key global hub for quantum technology</h3>Unveiled on World Quantum Day, the launch is set to establish Amaravati as a key global hub for quantum technology and a central node in a future nationwide quantum network. The Amaravati Quantum Reference Facility serves as India’s national platform for testing quantum hardware, enabling validation, benchmarking, and certification of components under real-world conditions. The facility addresses a critical global challenge, where access to quantum hardware is often limited, expensive, or opaque, restricting India's ability to test and develop its own components. The facility, AQRF, will provide a fully equipped platform for researchers, startups, and industry to directly access and evaluate components such as processors, cryogenic systems, amplifiers, and control electronics. The initiative is set up with a main focus on the domestic supply chain, covering nearly 85 per cent of its parts manufactured in India, marking the "first time a full-stack quantum system" has been assembled within the country, the press release said.&nbsp;The facility also seeks to challenge global dominance in key subsystems such as dilution refrigerators, control electronics, and precision hardware. The project has been carried out by a consortium including the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, the Indian Institute of Science, the Defence Research and Development Organisation, among others, which served as the system integrator.&nbsp;Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/fake-cancer-medication-racket-busted-in-delhi-vials-worth-rs-25-crore-likely-sold-1776159862245">Demand for miracle cancer drugs like Keytruda has spiraled a fakes market that is taking lives</a>

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an alert over a severe cyclonic storm that is likely to have an impact along India's southeast, predominantly coastal Andhra Pradesh, next week.According to the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), the weather system brewing near the Andaman archipelago off India's East coast could intensify into a cyclone by Monday, (27th Oct). If this weather system intensifies into a cyclone, this will be the first one of the ongoing Northeast monsoon season. When a cyclone forms, it is assigned a name from a list of options provided by nations in the region.A low-pressure area had formed over the Southeast Bay of Bengal as of Friday, (Oct 24). The system concentrated into a Depression on Saturday morning, and is expected to intensify into a Deep Depression by Sunday and further concentrate into a Cyclonic Storm by Monday.&nbsp; At present, it lies about 400 km west-southwest of Port Blair, Andaman &amp; Nicobar Islands and about 900 km east-southeast of Chennai, Tamil Nadu.Over the next couple of days, it is expected to move north-northwestwards and intensify into a severe cyclonic storm by Tuesday, (Oct 28). IMD has forecast that the weather system is likely to cross Andhra Pradesh near Kakinada. At the time of crossing the coast on Tuesday, the wind speeds are likely to be 90-110kmph.Owing to this evolving weather system, heavy rainfall has been predicted for several districts along coastal Tamil Nadu over the weekend.&nbsp; For Monday (Oct 27), IMD has forecast heavy to very heavy rainfall (between 6-20cms) for Chennai and adjoining districts.Active between June and September, the southwest monsoon brings in the vast majority of India's annual rainfall. Likewise, the Northeast monsoon brings rains across parts of the southeastern coast of India in the final three months of the year. Also known as the retreating monsoon, the Northeast monsoon is the second major rainfall season in India, and is crucial for large parts of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Puducherry.The two are related in such a way that the Northeast monsoon occurs when the southwest monsoon withdrawal, and the wind direction reverses. The Northeast monsoon sets in around mid-October and goes on till mid-December.The Northeast monsoon caters for about 50% or more of the annual rainfall in Tamil Nadu and coastal Andhra Pradesh. This season is known for cyclonic storms or weather systems that form in the Bay of Bengal, which can lead to very heavy rainfall and potential flooding in parts of Tamil Nadu and coastal Andhra Pradesh. These rains are also crucial for recharging the water table and the reservoirs.

According to the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), the well-marked low-pressure area off India's southeast coast is likely to move northwestwards across North Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and South Andhra Pradesh by Thursday, 23rd October. The IMD has issued a rainfall warning for multiple coastal districts of Tamil Nadu, including the capital city Chennai and adjoining regions. The rainfall warning is applicable until Friday, 24th October.In meteorology, a low-pressure area is one where the atmospheric pressure is lower than that of the surrounding areas. It is associated with cloud formation, increased humidity and rainfall. It causes moderate rain and cloudy skies. A depression is an intense low-pressure area that brings moderate to heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, and gusty winds.Owing to the evolving weather system, fishermen have been advised not to venture out at sea through this week, as winds would be gusting at 55-70 kmph along the Tamil Nadu coast and the South Andhra Pradesh coast. Fishermen who are out at sea have also been advised to return to shore.Meanwhile, the well-marked low-pressure area off India's southwest has intensified into a depression, and it is likely to move north-northwestwards by Thursday. As of Wednesday, the system is over 500 km west-southwest of Amindivi, Lakshadweep. Owing to this, rough sea conditions and gusty winds are expected to prevail along the Kerala-Karnataka coasts, through this week. Fishermen in that region have also been advised not to venture out.It has been a week since the IMD announced the start of Northeast Monsoon rainfall activity over India's Southeastern coastal region, including Tamil Nadu, Puducherry &amp; Karaikal, Coastal Andhra Pradesh, Rayalaseema, and Southwestern regions such as South Interior Karnataka and Kerala-Mahe.Active between June and September, the southwest monsoon brings in the vast majority of India's annual rainfall.
