معرفی
Prof. Stefano Carretta is a Full Professor of Physics of Matter at the University of Parma, leading research in theoretical physics with a focus on quantum computing, molecular nanomagnets, and chirality-induced phenomena. He holds a PhD in Physics from the University of Parma (2005) and has held roles at the National Institute for the Physics of Matter and the National Interuniversity Consortium for the Physical Sciences of Matter (CNISM). His research combines theoretical work with experimental collaboration, targeting applications in quantum computing, magnetic refrigeration, and materials science.
He teaches courses such as Quantum Information and Computing, Magnetism and Quantum Computing, and Physics 2 at both bachelor’s and master’s levels. His work includes over 160 publications (h-index 41), with notable contributions to neutron spectroscopy (e.g., MIRACLES project at ESS) and the development of molecular spin qudits. Awards include the 2006 Le Scienze Medal and the 2011 Olivier Kahn Award.
Research interests span molecular magnetism, multipolar interactions in f-electron systems, and quantum error correction. Collaborations include experimental groups worldwide and large-scale facilities like the European Spallation Source. He currently serves as an editor for Scientific Reports and referee for top journals (e.g., Physical Review Letters).
