Classiq, TEA TEK Launch Multi-Million-Euro Naples Quantum Hub With 128-Qubit Capacity
3 articles · Updated · GlobeNewswire · Jun 24
Summary
A multi-million-euro partnership will build a Naples quantum computing hub that the companies say will rank among Europe’s most significant facilities.
The site will combine quantum hardware with Classiq’s software platform in an end-to-end setup matching the University of Naples Federico II’s QCN Lab architecture, but scaled to 128 qubits.
Services are due by the end of 2026, when TEA TEK plans to run the platform as a Quantum as a Service provider for researchers, companies, public institutions and developers.
The project centers on TEA TEK’s investment in the ex-Whirlpool area and aims to link academia with commercial users to create a broader quantum ecosystem in Southern Italy.
For Classiq and TEA TEK, the hub is also a play for European quantum sovereignty, reflecting a shift from research strategy toward operational, commercially viable infrastructure.
What real-world problems will Naples' new 128-qubit quantum computer actually solve for businesses?
Can regional hubs like Naples close Europe's quantum investment gap against global rivals?
Will this hub champion an open European standard or create another walled tech garden?
