Italy installs powerful 54-qubit quantum computer at Cineca

Cineca, Italy's supercomputing center, has partnered with IQM Quantum Computers to install the IQM Radiance, a 54-qubit quantum computer. This system will be integrated into Leonardo, one of the fastest supercomputers, by the end of 2025. This installation marks the first on-premises quantum computer at Cineca, enhancing its role in scientific computing. The quantum computer aims to support research in areas like quantum cryptography and artificial intelligence. IQM, a leader in superconducting quantum technology, will provide advanced tools for Italian scientists. This development strengthens Italy's position in the global quantum computing landscape.
