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!

What We Do
Here are some of the exciting activities our team has been a part of.
Pushquantum Hackathon in TUM Munich
2025
During the hackathon, our team dove into one of the biggest challenges in quantum computing: error correction. We developed a strategy to protect computations from noise, aiming to achieve the highest possible accuracy while working with extremely limited hardware resources. To find the perfect solution, the group tested and compared several algorithms: we started with standard baseline approaches, experimented with advanced mathematical optimization models, and ultimately even built our own custom solution from scratch.
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 today’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.
