PRESENTATION:

I'm Fabio Tarocco, Ph.D Student at University of L'Aquila.
I've won a PNRR grant for Doctoral program in Quantum Computation under the Department of Information Engineering, Computer Science, and Mathematics.
I've obtained both my Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science (graduated in 2020) and my Master’s Degree course in Engineering and Computer Science (graduated in 2022) at the University of Verona (Italy).

During the first year of my Master's course, I’ve studied the fundamentals of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence.
Then, in the second semester of the first year, I took a mandatory course in Complexity Theory and an optional course in Game Theory. During this period, I’ve developed my passion for theoretical topics, in particular, I’ve decided to follow the Quantum Computation course.

From the second semester of the first year until I graduated, I continued studying Quantum Computing in different fields of application, with a particular interest into Quantum Optimization: Quantum Annealing (also testing quantum annealers by DWAVE-Systems), Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) and Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE).
I've also spent a lot of time on applications of quantum computing to problems on graphs, mainly studying Quantum Walks.

Now, I'm a former member of the prof. Leonardo Guidoni's Quantum Computing Team together with Davide Materia, Chiara Capecci and Leonardo Ratini, and we focus on the application of Quantum Computing to Quantum Chemistry problems.
