Paolo Zanardi
Paolo Zanardi is an Italian physicist and professor of physics and mathematics at the University of South Carolina.[1] His work is primarily focused on quantum mechanics and computing, specifically about quantum information processing and its applications. In 2011, he was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society under the Division of Quantum Information.[2]
Education and career
Paolo Zanardi earned a Masters Degree in Physics from the Università degli Studi di Modena in 1992. Later, he earned a PhD in Physics from the Università di Roma Tor Vergata in 1995.[1]
After his doctoral studies, Zanardi worked with the ISI Foundation as a Scientific consultant and as a Scientific Coordinator for the European FET Project TOPQIP from 2001 to 2011.[1] Paolo Zanardi started working at the University of South Carolina as an associate professor in 2007 and then becoming a full professor in 2011.[1]
Research
His work focuses on the study of quantum mechanics, specifically within the topic of quantum information processing (QIP)[3], developing algorithms using both topological and geometrical approaches,[3][4][5] the physical implementation of QIP devices, looking at methods to reduce the scrambling of information through quantum circuits,[6][7] and performing decoherence control on quantum computing systems.[8][9]
