Research and Projects

I am eager to collaborate on projects within the field of Quantum Information and its intersections. If you are interested in, please feel free to reach out to me via email at roberto.menta@sns.it

CURRENT ACTIVE PROJECTS

Globally controlled quantum computing

PhD project at SNS in collaboration with Planckian srl. The main purpose is to theorize and experimentally realize architectures for globally driven superconducting quantum computers. If you are interested in it, have a look here . My PhD supervisors are Prof. Vittorio Giovannetti (main, SNS) and Prof. Marco Polini (UniPi).

Quantum Error correction and global control

PhD project at SNS in collaboration with Planckian srl. I am the leader of the Error Correction division within the Theory team at Planckian. I am studying stabilizer formalism, surface code and fault-tolerant thresholds. I am also interested in global control applications for quantum error correction.

quantum energy and quantum batteries for quantum computing

Part of PhD project at SNS in collaboration with Planckian srl. I am interested in applications of quantum batteries for quantum computing and integrations of those within quantum processors. I am also studying quantum energy foundations in collaboration with Andrea Canzio, Dr. Vasco Cavina e Prof. Vittorio Giovannetti.

quantum simulations on digital quantum computers

QCSS project at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in New Mexico, USA. I am working on quantum simulation of a fermionic model on digital quantum computers as Quantinuum and IonQ. The LANL supervisors of the project Jianxin Zhu and Ammar Kirmani.

magnetic skyrmions

Project started at University of Pisa for my master thesis in collaboration with Prof. S. Bolognesi (UniPi and INFN) and Prof. S. B. Gudnason (Henan University). We study the topological properties of magnetic skyrmions in 2D and in higher dimensions. Other collaborators are Dr. B. Barton-Singer and Niccolò Francini.
