About QUART&T
Development of quantum architectures demonstrators to test theoretical models and phenomena.
Our Mission & Vision
The Quantum Architectures for Theory & Technology (QUART&T) project aims to design and develop quantum architectures based on superconducting qubits for the realisation of a demonstrator quantum simulator dedicated to problems in Fundamental Physics beyond the reach of classical computation. The initiative focuses on research themes aligned with the scientific priorities of INFN, where quantum simulation can provide transformative advances.
Target applications include simulation of quantum field theories and lattice gauge models, the study of strongly correlated systems and non-equilibrium quantum dynamics, as well as problems in neutrino oscillations and nuclear dynamics. These domains are characterised by complex many-body interactions and exponential computational scaling, making them ideal candidates for dedicated quantum simulation platforms.
Through the development of scalable superconducting architectures, QUART&T seeks to establish a versatile and experimentally accessible framework to address key open questions in Particle, Nuclear, and many-body Physics, while contributing to the broader advancement of quantum technologies.
