The only thing that could possibly be hotter than Italian twins explaining entanglement in Italian is Italian triplets explaining the GHZ state.

Super happy to share our new preprint today on ArXiv: 🥳
arxiv.org/pdf/2510.05531

It’s about efficient learning of bosonic Gaussian unitaries with provable recovery guarantees in a physically motivated accuracy metric: the "energy-constrained diamond-norm".

The saga of *quantum learning theory with CV systems* never ends!

And indeed, when you look closely at this field, many natural and promising questions arise. For instance:
How to learn CV Gaussian unitaries?

We recently posted 2 works on quantum resource theories: arxiv.org/abs/2506.19696, arxiv.org/abs/2507.10851

👂Huh? Yall want more? We got you covered with a NEW work

Analyzing the free states of one quantum resource theory as resource states of another

arxiv.org/abs/2507.11793
Characterizing quantum resourcefulness via group-Fourier decompositions
In this work we present a general framework for studying the resourcefulness in pure states for quantum resource theories (QRTs) whose free operations arise from the unitary representation of a group....

New work on Quantum resource theories!
arxiv.org/abs/2507.10851

A big thanks to my collaborators @antonioannamele.bsky.social Pablo Bermejo Paolo Braccia Andrew Deneris @martinlaroo.bsky.social and specially@mvscerezo.bsky.social

We provide a unifying framework leading to new free operations 🧵⬇️
A unified approach to quantum resource theories and a new class of free operations
In quantum resource theories (QRTs) certain quantum states and operations are deemed more valuable than others. While the determination of the ``free'' elements is usually guided by the constraints of...

A complete theory of the Clifford commutant

The Clifford group is ubiquitous in quantum information science, with applications in benchmarking, quantum error correction and learning algorithms. Understanding which operators commute with is a powerful tool.

🧵 Super excited to finally share our new paper 🎉

Together with the dream team- Lennart Bittel,
@jenseisert.bsky.social, Lorenzo Leone, @sfeoliviero.bsky.social - we present a full theory of the Clifford commutant ⚡, a central object in quantum information. ⚛️

I'm excited to share a new preprint about learning unitary operators of mildly-interacting fermions!

arxiv.org/abs/2504.11318

@antonioannamele.bsky.social posed this very interesting question to me and I'm glad to have made progress towards it.
Mildly-Interacting Fermionic Unitaries are Efficiently Learnable
Recent work has shown that one can efficiently learn fermionic Gaussian unitaries, also commonly known as nearest-neighbor matchcircuits or non-interacting fermionic unitaries. However, one could ask ...

Happy to announce that our paper is now published in @quantum-journal.bsky.social .

We show that deciding whether a given dataset, formed by a few Majorana correlation functions estimates, can be consistent with a free-fermionic state is an NP-complete problem.

Super happy to see our work "Efficient learning of quantum states prepared with few fermionic non-Gaussian gates" now published in PRX Quantum. ⚛️ 🥳

Huge thanks to my incredible coauthor Yaroslav Herasymenko for the fun collaboration! 🚀

Catch our talk at #QIP2025 to learn more!
Efficient Learning of Quantum States Prepared With Few Fermionic Non-Gaussian Gates
A novel tomography algorithm with provably optimal run-time can uncover fundamental properties of a broad class of states and provide efficient circuit compilation.

Check out the great Bluesky-thread by Armando about our recent work. ⚛️

We show that ‘typical’ noisy circuits can be efficiently simulated classically for any local noise and circuit architecture — in contrast to fault-tolerantly designed noisy circuits. ⚡️
In arXiv:2501.13101, we explore a broad class of noisy circuits across all geometries, significantly relaxing the strict assumptions on geometric locality and noise models imposed by prior works.
