Bologna serves as a new European reference point for quantum science and technology. The Bologna Quantum Alliance is an agreement between universities and research centers. The agreement organizes the many skills distributed across the country related to cutting-edge quantum science topics, ranging from fundamental research to scientific and industrial applications. Central themes for technological and social development, such as Big Data, supercomputing, and artificial intelligence, will be able to combine with the enormous potential of quantum sciences, with applications in a variety of fields including health, climatology, earth science, and industrial innovation. The Bologna Quantum Alliance will result in joint projects, activities to promote innovation in fundamental and applied research, and collaborations with companies aimed at technology transfer. The "European Declaration on Quantum Technologies" outlines the horizon, with the goal of helping Europe become a global leader in quantum science and technology.
