Classiq & TEA TEK Group Launch 128-Qubit Hub in Naples

Classiq and TEA TEK Group are collaborating to establish a 128-qubit quantum computing hub in Naples, positioning the city as a key player in Europe’s growing quantum computing sector. TEA TEK Group is investing in the former Whirlpool industrial area to build the hub, demonstrating a commitment to regional economic development through advanced technology and creating a direct link between academic research and commercial application. The new facility will integrate quantum hardware with the Classiq software platform, using the same technical solution as the Quantum Computing Napoli (QCN) Lab at the University of Naples Federico II, led by Professor Tafuri. “This partnership is an important milestone,” said Nir Minerbi, co-founder and CEO of Classiq. “It is significant not only for Classiq and TEA TEK Group, but for the broader effort to make quantum computing usable and accessible at national and regional levels.”

Classiq & TEA TEK Partnership Establishes Naples Quantum Hub

This new facility, a collaboration between Classiq and TEA TEK Group, is a strategic move to position Naples as a central node in the European quantum computing sector, integrating both hardware and software under a single operational umbrella. This investment extends beyond physical space; it’s about building a dynamic ecosystem where researchers, businesses, and developers can collaboratively design, analyze, and execute quantum programs. The hub will use the same technical solution currently employed by Professor Tafuri’s QCN Lab, creating a direct pathway from academic research to practical application and commercialization. TEA TEK Group plans to operate a Classiq platform, offering Quantum as a Service (QaaS) and enabling seamless access to quantum capabilities for a wide range of users. Services are anticipated to launch by year’s end as the partners finalize integration of the quantum computer into the Classiq platform. The scale of this ambition is evident in TEA TEK Group’s vision for a European-scale infrastructure, aiming to become one of the continent’s most strategically important quantum centers.

128 Qubit Integration of Classiq Software with Quantum Hardware

The field of quantum computing is rapidly shifting from theoretical exploration to tangible infrastructure, and a new partnership between Classiq and TEA TEK Group exemplifies this progression. As several nations compete in this technology, a newly established hub in Naples, Italy, is poised to significantly expand European quantum capacity with a 128-qubit system. This approach aims to democratize access to quantum computing, allowing organizations to utilize its capabilities without the immense capital expenditure of building their own infrastructure. “Naples has the talent, the infrastructure and the ambition to be at the heart of Europe’s quantum future,” said Felice Granisso, CEO of TEA TEK Group.

Naples Hub as a European Quantum as a Service (QaaS) Provider

This strategic location signals a deliberate effort to build quantum capabilities where they can have the most significant local and national impact, moving beyond purely academic pursuits. Central to this development is the integration of Classiq’s software platform with the quantum hardware, creating what TEA TEK Group intends to be a complete, end-to-end quantum computing environment. A key element of this strategy is the QaaS model, which allows companies, financial institutions, and research centers to access quantum capabilities without the massive capital expenditure typically required to build their own infrastructure. “A validation of this model is the fact that Classiq will redistribute compute hours to industrial operators, demonstrating that a scalable quantum value chain is already taking shape,” Granisso added.

The European quantum ecosystem is rapidly shifting from theoretical research to tangible infrastructure, as evidenced by a significant partnership in Naples, Italy. This expansion isn’t simply about increasing qubit count; it’s about creating a fully integrated environment for quantum program design, analysis, and execution, all localized within a single facility. The strategic intent is to build a dynamic ecosystem where researchers, enterprises, and developers can seamlessly interact with quantum capabilities.
