Biografia

Giacomo Vitali graduated in Physics of Fundamental Interactions at University of Pisa in 2018 with a Thesis titled "Development of a Fast Simulation for the LHCb Calorimeter". After a year as assistant researcher at the Normale di Pisa, he moved to Fondazione LINKS as senior researcher in computer science for the Advanced Computing, Photonics and Electromagnetics (CPE) domain, dealing with HPC-related topics, like optimization and Quantum Computing. During this experience, he started working as main responsible of a small group of researchers on Quantum Computing topics, in particular on the development of hybrid algorithms for solving complex problems of various types (Quantum Machine Learning, Combinatorial Optimization, Material Simulation, Quantum Chemistry) related to industrial applications. He worked with several architectures, especially Quantum Annealers and Neutral Atoms platform, developing skills in Quantum Programming with specific tools.
In 2022, he started a PhD course at the Politecnico di Torino at the Department of Control And Computer Engineering (DAUIN) under the supervision of Prof. Bartolomeo Montrucchio of the GRAINS group on "Quantum Machine Learning Applications and Algorithms for Technology Transfer".
Given the embryonic stage and the limitations of the NISQ-era Quantum Computing platforms in terms of coherence time, qubit connectivity, etc. a clear Quantum Computing advantage over classical architectures is still to be demonstrated. Hence, the main the objective of the PhD research work is to enable Quantum Machine Learning techniques for industrial and scientific applications, and asses the technology readiness. To this end, it is required to:
  • Analyze and identify appropriate use-cases and the most promising QML algorithms
  • Optimize, implement and run the hybrid workflows on classical resources and available real quantum devices
  • Benchmark the results against state-of-the-art classical Machine Learning methods.
