These are my guys from the NESYA Laboratory. They are my treasure, the most beautiful result of all my research, the most perfect answer to every exam I’ve ever given. They are everything I’ve ever wished for from my life spent at university.
We haven’t won the Nobel Prize (yet), but we have earned respect and scientific authority around the world. We are many now, always hungry for knowledge and improvements, working together with friendship, mutual respect, and deep affection. This is our most precious good, not to be taken for granted in this world, which makes us truly special.
Thank you guys!!! 💝

Another great experience together with my guys of the NESYA Laboratory during the Open DIET 2025, the open day of the Dipartimento di Ingegneria dell'Informazione, Elettronica e Telecomunicazioni (DIET)!!!🔝🤩

At the stand on "Quantum Artificial Intelligence and Neural Networks", among many research and teaching topics, we also presented an Arduino simulation of the Quantum Random Walk and a quantum implementation, by the QASM assembly language, of the famous DOOM first-person shooter videogame!!! 💥😍

We're always working to consolidate an ever stronger friendship and to obtain new scientific achievements!!! 💪🏻😉

Would you like to learn more about autism detection through gaze analysis using eye tracking sensors and data attribution with distillation in deep neural networks?

Then read our latest publication in the Sensors journal, which I co-authored with Federica Colonnese, Francesco Di Luzio and Antonello Rosato from NESYA Laboratory at the Dipartimento di Ingegneria dell'Informazione, Elettronica e Telecomunicazioni (DIET) of the University of Rome "La Sapienza".

It was a great pleasure and scientific fulfilment to hold a presentation on Quantum Machine Leaning at the Qiskit Fall Fest 2024, a workshop on Quantum Computing at the Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II with more than 200 participants and many enthusiastic students ready to dive into this new fantastic world!

A truly exciting and wonderful day, shared with friends and colleagues from several important institutions operating worldwide in the quantum field, in particular Michele Grossi, Edoardo Giusto, Silvia Zorzetti, Davide Corbelletto, Davide Moretti, Elías Fernández-Combarro Álvarez.

My heartfelt thanks to the guys from the NESYA Laboratory at the Dipartimento di Ingegneria dell'Informazione, Elettronica e Telecomunicazioni (DIET) of the Sapienza Università di Roma, which I had the honor to represent as its Director. I illustrated and discussed the most recent activities with state-of-the-art results we achieved on Quantum Optimization and Quantum Deep Learning, also sharing our vision and the perspectives about the future of Quantum Computing and Quantum AI.

A special thanks also to the Organizers of this event, who made an outstanding job, in particular to Roberto Schiattarella, Angela Chiatto, Allegra Cuzzocrea, Alfredo Massa and Andrea Senese.

Studiamo e sviluppiamo sistemi, algoritmi e tecnologie che uniscono l'atomo all'universo come pure l'energia all'informazione. E siamo stati tra i primi in Sapienza e in Italia a renderli intelligenti con i nostri studi pionieristici, da oltre quarant'anni, su reti neurali e intelligenza computazionale!!!
