In the presence of the Rector of the University of Padua, Daniela Mapelli, the Councillor of the Municipality of Padua, Francesca Benciolini, and the President of the Veneto Region, Alberto Stefani, the Quantum Computing Lab was inaugurated today, Monday, March 2. The new University facility, located on Via Luzzati in Padua, houses spaces designed for activities involving trapped-ion quantum computers, physics of the Universe, lasers and optics, and other laboratories.

The Quantum Computing Lab represents a strategic investment in infrastructure and equipment. The laboratory will host the development of a quantum computer built using trapped-ion technology. The initiative is part of the QCSC project funded under the WCRI call, which is developing a complete quantum computing ecosystem (hardware, software, and their scientific and industrial applications), and exploring the interface between quantum computing and quantum communications. The project involves twelve Departments of the University of Padua and the Interdepartmental Center for Quantum Technologies, Padua QTech. The activities of the Quantum Computing Lab have also been supported by the National Center for HPC, Big Data and Quantum Computing – ICSC Foundation – thus contributing to the coordinated development of the Italian quantum computing ecosystem.

The program also involves several other Italian universities (Pavia, L’Aquila, Naples and Bologna…) together with a network of high-level institutions and partners, including Cineca, INFN Q@TN, TQT, NEAT, ARAKNE, and ALGORITHMS. This highlights the strongly interdisciplinary nature and the national and international scope of the initiative, which has also led to the establishment of the Italian Quantum Alliance, an association representing institutions and companies active in quantum technologies in Italy, headquartered in Padua.
The University of Padua’s strong commitment to quantum technologies also aims to contribute to the development of the Italian Strategy for Quantum Technologies and the European Quantum Strategy.

“The investment in the Quantum Computing Lab, approximately five million euros for construction alone, represents one of the most significant efforts made by our University to provide research with adequate spaces,” stated Rector Daniela Mapelli. “This figure is noteworthy not for its economic size, but for what it represents: the awareness that excellent research requires excellent infrastructure. A laboratory is not simply a container; it is an accelerator of ideas, a place that enables collaboration, an environment that makes possible what was previously impossible. Quantum technologies will indeed have a decisive impact. However, every scientific advancement carries responsibility. Our tradition, rooted in centuries of freedom of research and thought, reminds us that the role of academia is not only to produce knowledge, but to direct it toward purposes that strengthen human dignity and social cohesion. In this sense, quantum is not only a technological challenge; it is a test of our ability to govern innovation with responsibility and foresight.”

“Research and critical thinking have always characterized the city of Padua,” added Francesca Benciolini, Councillor of the Municipality of Padua. “Investments like this in research infrastructure allow our city to be enriched by people capable of embracing scientific challenges, enabling our community to feel actively involved in innovation processes.”

“With this initiative,” emphasized the President of the Veneto Region, Alberto Stefani, “the University of Padua takes a highly significant step into modernity, looks to the future, and aims to build it through research, in an environment characterized by advanced laboratories, high technology, and education. This University investment creates an innovation context at the highest levels. This is what our young people need to grow professionally, and what Veneto’s entrepreneurship needs, as innovation becomes its guiding star.”

The program also involves several other Italian universities (Pavia, L’Aquila, Naples and Bologna…) together with a network of high-level institutions and partners, including Cineca, INFN Q@TN, TQT, NEAT, ARAKNE, and ALGORITHMS. This highlights the strongly interdisciplinary nature and the national and international scope of the initiative, which has also led to the establishment of the Italian Quantum Alliance, an association representing institutions and companies active in quantum technologies in Italy, headquartered in Padua.
The University of Padua’s strong commitment to quantum technologies also aims to contribute to the development of the Italian Strategy for Quantum Technologies and the European Quantum Strategy.

“The investment in the Quantum Computing Lab, approximately five million euros for construction alone, represents one of the most significant efforts made by our University to provide research with adequate spaces,” stated Rector Daniela Mapelli. “This figure is noteworthy not for its economic size, but for what it represents: the awareness that excellent research requires excellent infrastructure. A laboratory is not simply a container; it is an accelerator of ideas, a place that enables collaboration, an environment that makes possible what was previously impossible. Quantum technologies will indeed have a decisive impact. However, every scientific advancement carries responsibility. Our tradition, rooted in centuries of freedom of research and thought, reminds us that the role of academia is not only to produce knowledge, but to direct it toward purposes that strengthen human dignity and social cohesion. In this sense, quantum is not only a technological challenge; it is a test of our ability to govern innovation with responsibility and foresight.”

“Research and critical thinking have always characterized the city of Padua,” added Francesca Benciolini, Councillor of the Municipality of Padua. “Investments like this in research infrastructure allow our city to be enriched by people capable of embracing scientific challenges, enabling our community to feel actively involved in innovation processes.”

“With this initiative,” emphasized the President of the Veneto Region, Alberto Stefani, “the University of Padua takes a highly significant step into modernity, looks to the future, and aims to build it through research, in an environment characterized by advanced laboratories, high technology, and education. This University investment creates an innovation context at the highest levels. This is what our young people need to grow professionally, and what Veneto’s entrepreneurship needs, as innovation becomes its guiding star.”

In the presence of the Rector of the University of Padua, Daniela Mapelli, the Councillor of the Municipality of Padua, Francesca Benciolini, and the President of the Veneto Region, Alberto Stefani, the Quantum Computing Lab was inaugurated today, Monday, March 2. The new University facility, located on Via Luzzati in Padua, houses spaces designed for activities involving trapped-ion quantum computers, physics of the Universe, lasers and optics, and other laboratories.

The Quantum Computing Lab represents a strategic investment in infrastructure and equipment. The laboratory will host the development of a quantum computer built using trapped-ion technology. The initiative is part of the QCSC project funded under the WCRI call, which is developing a complete quantum computing ecosystem (hardware, software, and their scientific and industrial applications), and exploring the interface between quantum computing and quantum communications. The project involves twelve Departments of the University of Padua and the Interdepartmental Center for Quantum Technologies, Padua QTech. The activities of the Quantum Computing Lab have also been supported by the National Center for HPC, Big Data and Quantum Computing – ICSC Foundation – thus contributing to the coordinated development of the Italian quantum computing ecosystem.

The Department of Geosciences at the University of Padua (Via Giovanni Gradenigo, 6 - Padova) will host from March 6 to April 18, 2026, the traveling exhibition Dolomites: walking through the geology of wonder, an interactive and trilingual exhibition dedicated to the geological landscapes of the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The opening is scheduled for Saturday, March 7 at 10:00 a.m.

Conceived as an immersive experience between science and nature, the exhibition transforms the hiker’s trail into a true journey through time, guiding visitors across 270 million years of geological history. It is a narrative that reveals the deep forces that have shaped these extraordinary mountains and the natural processes that continue to influence their evolution today.

The project, promoted by the Fondazione Dolomiti UNESCO, has been hosted since 2025 in the cities of Trento, Belluno, and Pordenone—territories that share the Dolomites serial site. Its arrival in Padua highlights the historic role of the Department of Geosciences, long a key player in scientific research in the Dolomites area and a fundamental contributor to the development of the exhibition within the Foundation’s Functional Network of Geological Heritage.

Through installations, narrative panels, and interactive modules from the Dolomites World Heritage Geotrail, visitors will be able to explore the distinctive features, transformations, and phenomena characterizing the nine Systems that make up the Dolomites World Heritage Site. Guides specially provided by the Department will accompany visitors with clear and engaging explanations, making scientific content accessible to audiences of all ages.

To complete the exhibition experience, a selection of representative samples of Dolomite rocks, minerals, and fossils will be on display, offering visitors the opportunity to observe original geological materials firsthand and connect directly and concretely with the natural history of the region.

The exhibition is free of charge and requires booking. Visiting hours are as follows:
Friday: 5:00–6:00 p.m. and 6:00–7:00 p.m.
Saturday: 9:30–10:30 a.m., 10:00–11:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.

The Department of Geosciences at the University of Padua (Via Giovanni Gradenigo, 6 - Padova) will host from March 6 to April 18, 2026, the traveling exhibition Dolomites: walking through the geology of wonder, an interactive and trilingual exhibition dedicated to the geological landscapes of the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The opening is scheduled for Saturday, March 7 at 10:00 a.m.

Conceived as an immersive experience between science and nature, the exhibition transforms the hiker’s trail into a true journey through time, guiding visitors across 270 million years of geological history. It is a narrative that reveals the deep forces that have shaped these extraordinary mountains and the natural processes that continue to influence their evolution today.

The project, promoted by the Fondazione Dolomiti UNESCO, has been hosted since 2025 in the cities of Trento, Belluno, and Pordenone—territories that share the Dolomites serial site. Its arrival in Padua highlights the historic role of the Department of Geosciences, long a key player in scientific research in the Dolomites area and a fundamental contributor to the development of the exhibition within the Foundation’s Functional Network of Geological Heritage.

Through installations, narrative panels, and interactive modules from the Dolomites World Heritage Geotrail, visitors will be able to explore the distinctive features, transformations, and phenomena characterizing the nine Systems that make up the Dolomites World Heritage Site. Guides specially provided by the Department will accompany visitors with clear and engaging explanations, making scientific content accessible to audiences of all ages.
