Who We Are

Founded in 2023 by students and professors at Politecnico di Torino, QubiTO is Italy’s first quantum computing student team. We explore the theoretical and practical frontiers of quantum technologies, with a particular focus on quantum computing.

We have moved beyond pure theory. With the inauguration of Politecnico’s first quantum computer from IQM, “Lagrange”, our team is actively testing algorithms and protocols directly on physical hardware. Furthermore, the use of RFSoC boards allows us to closely explore the electronics and control systems related to these technologies.

How We Work

Our core activities include:

🔬 Research & Engineering Projects

We recently reorganized our internal structure, shifting to a project-driven approach. Every team member actively participates in at least one ongoing project: a cross-functional setup that allows us to tackle complex challenges collaboratively and efficiently. Our members are directly involved in hands-on projects: building hybrid quantum-classical models, developing algorithmic solutions, and pushing the boundaries of what a student team can achieve.

Currently, our project teams, whose articles you can find on our website, are the following: Quantum Cryptography, Hardware Control, Qubit Technologies, Single-Qubit Travelling Salesman Problem, Quantum Solutions for Finance, Quantum Transpilation, and Outreach. These groups are composed of various students and dynamically change based on members’ interests.

🌍 International Hackathons

We regularly travel across Europe to compete, learn, and connect with the global quantum community. QubiTO has proudly tackled advanced challenges at major international events. Check out our activities section to learn more.

🗣️ Science Communication & Outreach

We firmly believe in making quantum science accessible. Our team actively organizes and participates in events to demystify quantum computing and share the impact of quantum physics with the public. Thanks to our dedicated outreach group, we are able to organize numerous meetups, often featuring external guests, open to both our members and the general student body.

🚀 Looking Ahead: QubiTO Hackathon 2026

We are currently organizing our own quantum hackathon. Scheduled for the end of 2026, this event will bring together students, researchers, and innovators to build the future of quantum technologies right here in Turin.

Additionally, a dedicated sub-team of programmers continuously manages and improves this website.
