Career

edit

Carleo studied physics at the Sapienza University of Rome and in 2011 earned his PhD in theoretical physics at the International School for Advanced Studies under the supervision of Stefano Baroni. His thesis on "Spectral and dynamical properties of strongly correlated systems" was dedicated to novel numerical simulation techniques to study condensed-matter systems, such as the time-dependent variational Monte Carlo.[3]

As a Marie Curie Fellow he joined the École supérieure d'optique to work in the Lab directed by Alain Aspect on theoretically model and simulate ultra-cold atoms systems.[4] In 2015, he went to work with the group of Matthias Troyer at the ETH Zurich where he later became a lecturer of computational quantum physics.[5][6] Here he investigated the idea of representing complex quantum systems using artificial neural networks and machine learning techniques, developing a family of variational states known as neural network quantum states. In 2018, as research scientist and project leader he joined the Center for Computational Quantum Physics at Flatiron Institute of the Simons Foundation in New York City.[7] Here he became a member of a team of researchers developing numerical methods at the intersection of machine learning and quantum science.[8][9] Since 2018 he has been leading the open-source project NetKet.[10]

Since 2020 he has been a professor of quantum computing at EPFL and the head of the Laboratory of Computational Quantum Science at the EPFL's School of Basic Sciences.[1][2][11]

Research

edit

Carleo's main focus is the development of methods in computational science to study challenging problems involving strongly interacting quantum systems and quantum computing.

In 2016, he introduced a representation of many-particle quantum wave functions based on artificial neural networks. This approach is known as neural network quantum states[12] and constitutes one of the early applications of machine learning techniques in modern many-body quantum physics. An application of this representation[13] is for example used for quantum tomography of interacting Rydberg atoms.[14]

In 2011, he also co-developed the time-dependent variational Monte Carlo method,[15] a technique to simulate the dynamics of quantum systems using variational Monte Carlo. This approach is used for example to simulate the dynamics of two-dimensional interacting quantum models.[16][17]

Carleo has also contributed to the development of quantum algorithms, especially in the context of variational quantum simulation.[18]

His research has been featured in news outlets such as New Scientist,[19] Ars Technica,[20] Physics World,[21] Chemistry World,[22] and Vice.[23] Some of his lectures are also available on YouTube.[24][25]

Distinctions

edit

He is a scholar at the ELLIS Society (since 2020)[26] and a member of the editorial board of Machine Learning Science and Technology (since 2019).[27]
