Pasqal has unveiled the SOL system at the CINECA supercomputing center in Bologna, marking Italy's first neutral atom quantum computer. This 140-qubit installation is built on the Pasqal Orion processor and is integrated with the Leonardo supercomputer.
SOL was deployed at the DAMA Technopole as part of the EuroHPC JU and ICSC project. The system is designed for hybrid quantum-classical computing, allowing specialized tasks to be processed by the quantum processor while leveraging Leonardo for classical processing and handling large datasets.
