Dipartimento di Fisica Sapienza Università di Roma
The Quantum Lab team is excited to welcome two new members: Lorenzo Iasenzaniro and Giulia Lelli, both recently graduated in Physics at La Sapienza University of Rome, who join the group as PhD students starting this November. Lorenzo’s research focuses on harnessing quantum properties of light to implement novel computation protocols and platforms. Giulia’s research … Continua a leggere
Quantum simulations of molecular electronic structure hold the potential for computational advantage but are inherently limited by the linear scaling of qubit requirements with respect to system size. Quantum Density Functional Theory (Q-DFT) addresses this constraint by reformulating the interacting many-body problem in terms of a non-interacting Kohn–Sham reference system. Here, we present and experimentally validate … Continua a leggere

Giovanni Rodari, Sapienza Quantum Lab former Phd student and post-doc, has been awarded the 2025 con.Scienze Prize in the Physics category. The award, promoted by ConferenzaNazionale dei Presidenti e dei Direttori delle Strutture Universitarie di Scienze e Tecnologie (con.Scienze), recognizes each year the best doctoral research carried out across scientificdisciplines. The winning dissertation, entitled Hybrid Photonic … Continua a leggere
Squeezed light enables quantum-enhanced phase estimation, with crucial applications in both fundamental physics and emerging technologies. To fully exploit the advantage provided by this approach, estimation protocols must remain optimal across the entire parameter range and resilient to instabilities in the probe state. In this context, strategies that rely on pre-calibrated squeezing levels are vulnerable … Continua a leggere
A Gaussian boson sampler (GBS) is a special-purpose quantum computer that can be practically realized at a large scale in optics. Here we report on experiments in which we used a frequency-multiplexed GBS with > 400 modes as a quantum reservoir. We evaluated the accuracy of our GBS-based reservoir computer on a variety of benchmark … Continua a leggere
