The second edition of the Quantum Computing Academy has concluded. On June 6th, a ceremony was held for the presentation of diplomas to the students and the project work presentations by the working groups, at the University of Federico II in Naples, within the Monte Sant’Angelo complex.
Engineer Alfredo Troiano, Sole Director of QuantumNet and Technical Director of NetCom, is very proud of what this small start-up is achieving in a sector still dominated by large companies.
The students trained by the Academy are carrying out numerous project works in collaboration with partner companies such as Leonardo, QuantWare, and NetCom Group.
During the event, Domenico Lanzo, CEO and President of NetCom Group, emphasized that the experience was a unique opportunity for the participants, as they had the chance to engage with future technology poised to bring transformation in both the scientific and industrial fields. In fact, one of the projects developed at the Academy focused on Smart Cities. Quantum technologies will increasingly be able to offer innovative solutions for managing urban systems, mobility, and energy distribution.
Giovanni Acampora, Scientific Director of the Academy, describes it as a “unique program of its kind” in Italy, aimed at training the first generations of quantum programmers, with a strong desire to grow further and provide excellent education for young people.
The QCA program began in 2022 through the collaboration between CeSMA, the “Ettore Pancini” Department of Physics, and the startup QuantumNet, which also received the patronage of the Campania Region for this edition.
