On December 11th, the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) hosted the annual Quantum Spain meeting to review the progress achieved in the third year of the project and to present the new quantum computer at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC-CNS). Representatives from the 27 participating institutions, including our Picasso node, part of the national quantum computing ecosystem, discussed achievements and challenges for 2025. The meeting highlighted progress in building the national quantum computing ecosystem, with initiatives such as the Quantum Supercomputing Specialists Network, the TalentQ training program, and the deployment of quantum emulators integrated into the Spanish Supercomputing Network (RES). Additionally, more than 20 research activities in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and quantum computing applications were reviewed, focusing on Quantum Machine Learning algorithms.
The event concluded with a visit to the new quantum computer located in the historic chapel of the BSC-CNS. The system currently features a 5-qubit chip, expanding to 35 qubits in the coming years. This infrastructure, integrated with the MareNostrum 5 supercomputer, combines classical and quantum technologies, driving research and innovation in Spain, with the 
contributing through our Picasso supercomputing node. UMA remains at the forefront of research
