I-PHOQS is the largest Italian network of facilities in photonic and quantum sciences, offering open access to national and international users from both academia and industry.Funded through the European Union’s Next Generation EU programme within the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, the project is jointly realised by the National Research Council (CNR) and the Politecnico di Milano, and coordinated by the National Institute of Optics of CNR.The infrastructure combines technologies across a wide range of domains, including novel laser sources in extreme spectral regions, nanofabrication and state-of-the-art diagnostics for semiconductors and optoelectronics, and the full spectrum of quantum science — from quantum simulation with ultracold matter to quantum computing, communication, sensing, and metrology. Through its network of experimental facilities, I-PHOQS enables investigations in previously unexplored scientific areas and supports interdisciplinary research across the natural and applied sciences, while also providing training opportunities for doctoral students and early-career researchers
