Qubit+Torino

The first quantum computing student team in Italy!

Who We Are

QubiTO was founded in 2023, inspired by the enthusiasm of students and professors of Politecnico di Torino for quantum physics and its promising technological prospects. Together, united by a passion for this dynamism, we research and disseminate the aspects of this fascinating world in its countless variations. We leverage our knowledge and skills by participating as a team in international hackathons. With the inauguration of the first quantum computer at our University, Spark IQM, we will finally begin to apply our theoretical knowledge in the realization of practical projects!

    QubiTO Quantum Days

    November 12-14 2025

    QubiTO Quantum Days is a three-day event at Politecnico di Torino to celebrate 100 years of quantum mechanics. It tells the story of how quantum ideas grew into todayโ€™s new technologies.

    Talks by Prof. Adami and Scott Aaronson will explore past and future discoveries, and a workshop will show real experiments on quantum computers.

    GenQ Global Hackathon Series in Geneva

    2025

    Our team obtained a great result at the GenQ Hackathon, hosted by QAI Ventures at CERN, where we competed in a series of exciting quantum machine learning challenges. We split into two groups to tackle distinct problems: medical image classification and air quality forecasting. Our efforts were rewarded when the medical imaging team secured 2nd Place and brought home the Innovation Award.

    ETH Zurich Quantum Hackathon

    2025

    Six of our students competed against their brilliant international colleagues at ETH Zurich. Divided into two teams, they tackled the “Portfolio Optimization” challenge presented by QCentroid and the “Gate Parallelization” challenge by QuEra. Upon returning to Turin, they presented their solutions to fellow colleagues, professors, and quantum computing enthusiasts.
