Quantum seminars

The third plenary meeting of the International Quantum Tensor Network (IQTN) gathered world experts and young researchers on tensor networks to explore promising applications of these methods to open quantum systems, machine learning, lattice gauge theories, and to the development of quantum simulation and quantum algorithms.

Control of trapped ion qudits with structured light The Quantum Lab is offering two 12-months paid research positions (borse di ricerca), for candidates with at least a Master degree in Physics, on the topic of “Control of Trapped Ion Qudits with Structured Light.” The project focuses on developing theoretical frameworks on the interaction between atomic systems and laser beams with spatially a shaped wavefront, and to use them…

Our researchers were privileged to spend a week at the prestigious physics centre in Bad Honnef, where they had the opportunity to meet and collaborate with esteemed Rydberg physics experts from all over the world. This highly anticipated workshop brought together leading researchers from various disciplines of Rydberg physics, fostering meaningful exchanges and strengthening the sense of community within the field. Moreover, among various research works presented at…

The engage workshop was the first official meeting for the Engage doctoral students, taking place in Nicosia, Cyprus. The first part focused on theoretical and practical aspects of high performing computing (HPC), from efficient/scalable implementations  of simulation algorithms up to  GPU programming. In the final and second part of the program we learned methods to process and analyze large data sets with modern computing system, ML and deep…

Nuove prospettive per la progettazione di dispositivi elettronici e atomici È stato pubblicato nella rivista scientifica «Nature Reviews Physics» l’articolo di Andrea Tononi, ricercatore del Laboratorio di Fisica teorica e modelli statistici dell’Università Parigi-Saclay, e Luca Salasnich, professore presso il Dipartimento di Fisica e astronomia “Galileo Galilei” dellìUniversità di Padova. In questo lavoro, i due fisici riassumono alcuni sviluppi recenti della ricerca scientifica sui cosiddetti “gas atomici ultrafreddi”, analizzando…

Info Where is icecream ordered in wavelengths? Welcome to the Laser World of Photonics and World of Quantum conference in Munich where we visited for example our project partners from Toptica and got an overview of the most recent technology and quantum computer landscape in Germany and beyond.

Info With the main focus on communicating the research to the colleagues from other disciplines, the event included the researchers and experts from academic and non-academic sectors. The UNIPhD doctoral students presented their research projects through posters and 3-minute pitches, within which Nora Reinić won…

Shots taken during the Marco Ballarin and Lisa Zangrando’s talk at Workshop sul Calcolo nell’INFN. The QuantumTEA Cloud Platform Abstract Although quantum computers have the potential to outperform the classical computer capabilities, at the current moment noise in quantum gates still limits the size of quantum circuits that can be reliably executed. One way to avoid the noise obstacle and improve the circuit reliability includes adopting the classical…

In particular, we focus on a SU(2) Yang-Mills model in the Hamiltonian formulation, including dynamical matter. Our sign-problem-free approach allows…
