Episode Details

Amaravati, Andhra Pradesh's under-construction capital, is still a landscape of earthmovers and iron poles — but its Quantum Valley is already drawing scientists and engineers from across India and abroad. Young engineers have left metro jobs, postdoctoral researchers have returned from the US, and retired scientists are converging on this unfinished city to work on quantum computing — technology that promises to transform drug discovery, artificial intelligence and beyond. Built around nine theme-based precincts, Amaravati is Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu's grand vision. Quantum Valley is its economic anchor — and its earliest settlers are already betting their careers on it.
