Italy Launches Quantum Emulation Center with Q-Series Machines
Italy's first Quantum Emulation Center and Q-Series machines were unveiled on July 17, enabling local access to quantum computing. This initiative aims to enhance data sovereignty, reduce costs, and promote environmental sustainability in quantum technology applications.

The Quantum Emulation Center was presented in Genoa, featuring the EQM platform and Q-Series systems, developed under START 4.0. The Q-Series systems can emulate up to 33 qubits with over 99% fidelity, offering companies a path to quantum computing through purchase or rental.
Key benefits include data sovereignty, eliminating foreign data transit, and total cost of ownership reductions by removing reliance on expensive foreign services. Environmental advantages include reduced cooling requirements, allowing installations in standard office settings.
Applications span healthcare, urban mobility, and industrial security, promising significant operational efficiencies. However, successful implementation requires skilled personnel and well-organized data, with training programs included to build necessary competencies. The initiative positions Italy as a competitive player in quantum technology, accessible for SMEs.
