Our experiments

The ICSC-QC1 system is dedicated to superconducting quantum computing activities in the frame of the National Center for High-Performance, Big Data and Quantum Computing. Inaugurated in May 2024, this has been the first superconducting quantum computing center in Italy. It drives research that highlights the fundamental relation between hardware and quantum algorithms development in the Noisy and Intermediate Scale era. In the frame of several collaborative projects, this platform is dedicated to the development of advanced calibration, error-correction and mitigation routines for high-fidelity multi-qubit systems, the implementation on a machine level of advanced quantum algorithms for quantum information, entanglement generation, condensed matter physics simulations and specific purpose applications in finance. Finally, ICSC-QC1 is tailored for quantum schooling purposes: high-school and undergraduate students can visit the laboratory and learn about applied quantum computing, bachelor; master and Ph.D. students within the University of Napoli “Federico II” and abroad are currently developing their projects on these activities, and more are welcome to join!
