Quasar – QUAntum SAfe Randomness QUASAR is a project hosted by the University of Padova and funded by the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Padova e Rovigo The main objectives of QUASAR are: The development of new theoretical and experimental methods for the realization of ultra-fast and secure Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNGs) which are based on quantum mechanical principles (the intrinsic randomness of quantum measurements is at the basis of QRNGs); Their implementation by photonic integrated systems towards miniaturization and market exploitation; the use of the generated numbers for scientific simulations and cryptographic applications.

ENGAGE “Enabling the next generation of computational physicists and engineers” The project “Enabling the next generation of computational physicists and engineers” (ENGAGE) has been selected by the European Commission as an innovative international and interdisciplinary doctoral programme in high-performance computing and smart approaches to data analysis. It is funded under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions (MSCA) COFUND scheme for a five-year period. The project will train 20 early-stage researchers (ESRs) in high performance computing, data science approaches such as machine and deep learning, and quantum computing (QC), and in solving problems ranging from physics to engineering. Duration: 1 January 2022 – 31 December 2026 Go TO PROJECT

AQTIVATE Advanced computing, QuanTum algorIthms and data-driVen Approaches for science, Technology and Engineering The joint doctoral project “Advanced computing, QuanTum algorIthms and data-driVen Approaches for science, Technology and Engineering (AQTIVATE)” will deliver an interdisciplinary training program for fifteen fellows who will learn to utilise high performance computing, develop scalable algorithms and machine learning approaches, and explore quantum computing for research projects from physics, engineering and biology. AQTIVATE engages nine degree awarding institutions (DAIs) and four major research centres, including four national supercomputing centres in Cyprus, Germany, Italy and Sweden, one non-degree higher-educational institution, five companies as associated partners, NVIDIA participating through its research labs at two supercomputing centres, and IBM to join as a future associate partner. AQTIVATE will deliver joint degrees between at least two DAIs. Duration: 1 March 2023 – 28 February 2027 Go TO PROJECT

Quantum flagship The Quantum Technologies Flagship is a long-term research and innovation initiative that aims to put Europe at the forefront of the second quantum revolution. Launched in 2018, the Quantum Technologies Flagship will run for 10 years by bringing together research institutions and industry and public funders, expanding European scientific leadership and excellence in quantum technologies.
