At Euler building (A002)
Organized by Mathematical Engineering

Faccin, Mauro
Abstract :
How can we conjugate Quantum Mechanics and Network Science? The first is a well established field in Physics while the latter is newborn with a fast-growing interdisciplinary community.
In this seminar I will describe some representative cases where these two fields meet and overlap.These examples take inspiration from biophysics to technological applications
and apply tools from Network Science to characterize complex systems which obey the laws of Quantum Mechanics. I will show how, in some cases, both fields can benefit from each other when our aim is to speedup a particle
moving on a graph or compute the result of a boolean function, to simulate a big system or just distinguish quantum from classical systems.
