The aim of ICSC’s Spoke 10 is to bring quantum computing to technological maturity and to make available the enormous potential in terms of speed and data handling that it will provide. To reach this goal, the Spoke operates along three lines of research: the first is the realization of applications that exploit quantum computers as accelerators to solve otherwise insoluble problems; the second focuses on the realization of hardware and software tools that facilitate the programming of quantum computers and their interoperability with traditional computers; and the third aims to design large, scalable quantum computers.
