One of the practical usages of quantum computing has often been attached to Shor's algorithm, a quantum factorization algorithm that it is said to outperform all traditional implementation and sound the doom bell of all traditional public/private key encryption algorithms. But is there any need to actually worry about that at this moment?
This presentation will show the current state of...

Chalmers developed a new bring-up, calibration and characterization software solution that is used to study the chips produced by the group but that can be easily adapted to any chip. The software consists of two layers; a library of experiments for one and two-qubit operations, which is based on the publicly available Tergite-autocalibration and Bragi, the orchestration layer that performs...

Hybrid quantum-classical algorithms rely on an efficient back-and-forth between executing quantum circuit operations and processing information on classical computers (e.g., variational optimization or mid-circuit measurements). In this context, compilation is becoming increasingly important to enhance the performance and flexibility of these hybrid pipelines.

Prof. Francesco Tafuri (Università di Napoli Federico II)05/02/2026, 11:35
Superconducting circuits have been up to now the most successful platform to build a quantum computer, being developed and used by major international companies since early stages. Napoli has a long-standing experience on superconducting electronics and on its key device i.e. the Josephson junction, and has assembled the first quantum computer in Italy “Partenope” based on a 25-qubits...

The Politecnico di Torino has recently acquired Lagrange, a 5-qubit superconducting quantum computer based on the IQM Spark: the first of its kind installed in Italy. The system integrates a full-stack infrastructure that includes a cryogenic QPU operating at 18 millikelvin, a low-noise microwave control chain with tunable couplers and Purcell-filtered readout, and a multilayer software...

Scaling quantum processors to the million-qubit regime is fundamentally constrained by the I/O density and fan-out limitations of planar architectures. We present VIO, a 3D architecture designed to overcome these scaling barriers. VIO employs a novel 90-degree packaging technique that connects the horizontal qubit plane to a vertical chipstack. This stack, composed of micromachined silicon...

Two-photon interferometry (TPI), the very investigation of which historically led to the development of the modern description of the coherence of light as well as to the foundation of quantum optics [1,2,3], has evolved towards a booming research field whose applications span from quantum cryptography and computing [4] to biosensing [5], astrometry and telescopy [6], imaging and tomography...

Squeezed vacuum states are a key quantum resource for continuous variable quantum computing, quantum communications, and quantum metrology since they enable measurements below the shot-noise limit. Although state-of-the-art squeezed-light sources typically rely on bulk optical parametric oscillators [1], integrated nonlinear waveguides provide a promising alternative capable of reducing system...

Quantum devices can process data in a fundamentally different way than classical computers. To leverage this potential, many algorithms require the aid of a quantum Random Access Memory (QRAM), i.e. a module capable of efficiently loading datasets (both classical and quantum) onto the quantum processor. However, a realisation of this fundamental building block is still outstanding, since...
