  Alessandro Roggero is a theoretical physicist interested in nuclear physics, neutrino physics and many-body methods to tackle simulations in these fields using both classical HPC resources as well as quantum computing. After graduating in Physics at the University of Trento, Alessandro held postdoc positions at the Institute of Nuclear Theory in Seattle and the Los Alamos National Laboratory, was then an INT Fellow and Research Assistant Professor and the University of Washington, and joined the University of Trento in 2021 where he is now Associate Professor.
• Philipp Hans Juergen Hauke - Speaker

  INFN-TIFPA, Q@TN
  Philipp Hauke’s research focuses on developing the theoretical basis for novel quantum technologies in cold atoms, trapped ions, and superconducting qubits, combining methods and concepts from quantum information, many-body theory, and AMO physics. He works on novel quantum algorithms, the characterization of quantum effects such as entanglement in many-body systems, and quantum simulations of strongly-correlated systems such as gauge theories and holographic matter. Philipp Hauke studied Physics at TU Munich and EPF Lausanne. He received his PhD in 2013 from ICFO – The Institute of Photonic Sciences, Castelldefels, Barcelona. Afterwards, he was postdoctoral fellow and university assistant at the University of Innsbruck and group leader at Heidelberg University. In 2018, he received an ERC Starting grant. In 2019, he became Associate Professor at the Pitaevskii BEC Center and the Physics Department of University of Trento, where he became Full Professor in 2023.
