Pasqal Inaugurates Italy’s First Neutral-Atom Quantum Computer at CINECA Supercomputing Center
Neutral-atom quantum hardware developer Pasqal has officially inaugurated its SOL quantum computer at the DAMA Technopole in Emilia-Romagna, Bologna. Hosted by CINECA, Italy's largest public supercomputing consortium and a core member of the Italian Research Center on HPC, Big Data, and Quantum Computing (ICSC), the deployment marks the installation of Italy's first operational neutral-atom quantum [...] The post Pasqal Inaugurates Italy’s First Neutral-Atom Quantum Computer at CINECA Supercomputing Center appeared first on Quantum Computing Report .
The inauguration signifies a tangible milestone in Europe's quantum computing infrastructure development, catalyzed by strategic investments and national initiatives.
This marks a key step towards quantum readiness and sovereign capabilities within the European Union, potentially reducing reliance on external quantum technology providers.
Italy now possesses a national-level neutral-atom quantum computer, accelerating domestic research and industrial applications while strengthening the EU's quantum footprint.
