Quantum Computing Research Lines in the Italian Center for Supercomputing

Quantum computing is widely seen as an evolution step in computer science, with the potential for disruptive changes in how we think about problem solvability. The significant perspective societal gains have pushed for the creation of nation-wide research efforts, gathering together a diverse set of competences, ranging from fundamental physics, to electronic and computer engineering, and to pure computer science. In this paper, we provide an overview of the perspectives and research directions of the Italian Center for Supercomputing, and in particular its efforts towards advancing research in all aspects of quantum computing. Besides a general overview of the center itself, and its components, we also provide a glance on some of the current research directions.
