Talk by Daniele Ottaviani and Riccardo Mengoni

Title: Quantum Computing @ Cineca

Abstract: The emergence of Quantum Computing (QC) is revolutionizing the way we compute. By exploiting the principles of quantum mechanics, QC has the potential to address and solve different classes of problems that cannot be treated with classical supercomputers alone. CINECA has always provided cutting-edge High Performance Computing (HPC) solutions and now it is paving the way for a radical paradigm shift in computing techniques that will lead to a profitable relationship between QC and HPC resources

Short Bio: Riccardo Mengoni obtained his master’s degree in theoretical physics at University of Camerino. He then moved to University of Verona for his PhD, where he worked on Quantum Machine Learning. In summer 2018 he was selected for the USRA Quantum Academy that gave him the opportunity to be a NASA intern working on quantum annealing applications. Currently he is a Quantum Computing specialist at Cineca Quantum Computing Lab.
Daniele Ottaviani is a Mathematician, since his master’s thesis and has been passionate about mathematical modeling and its applications. He completed his studies with a II level Master degree in “Scientific Computing”, where he deepened High Performance Computing (HPC), and with a Ph.D. in “Mathematics and Models”. Since 2013 he has worked as Research fellow at the Astronomical Observatory of Rome “Monte Porzio Catone”. Since 2018 he has been working in CINECA as HPC Software Developer, with a special active monitoring role for the nascent quantum technologies. Since 2020 he is the Coordinator of the CINECA Quantum Computing Lab”.
