Luca Salasnich has been named a 2025 American Physical Society (APS) Fellow.The citation reads as follows: For a broad range of theoretical contributions in ultracold atomphysics, including analytical solutions to many-body equations, thephysics of reduced dimensionality and curved configurations, and theanalysis of collective modes, solitons, and quantized vortices. Here the list of all the fellows named by APS this year.

Italian daily newspaper La Stampa recently published an interview with Prof. Simone Montangero.  In the article, he discusses the transformative potential of quantum computers, from new materials and medicines to breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, logistics, and cryptography. Prof. Montangero highlights how the University of Padova, supported by the national and European investments, is positioning itself at the forefront of this technological revolution. The full article (in Italian) is available here (La Stampa Interview.pdf).  

Join Simone Montangero for an inside  at the PASQuanS2 project’s ambitious goal: building a 10,000-qubit quantum simulator. Here the link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kn8tNgXNnM8
