Research

On this page you can find more detail about my work, including my interests, publications, conferences, and talks. This is my webpage from the University of Pavia where I did my Ph.D (if still active): here.

Curriculum Vitae CV:

My research is focused on Quantum Computation and Information, and I’m interested also in topics from Theoretical Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence.

As much as I like to put my hand to theory, I also always look for a computational approach to problems.

In Feynman’s words: «What I cannot create [that is, code], I do not understand».

At the moment, for my PhD I am investigating and studying one of the most interesting application of Quantum Computing, that is Quantum Machine Learning.

Programming languages and tools: Qiskit, Pennylane, Python, Fortran, Mathematica, …
