Quantum Computer: una possibile rivoluzione | Francesco Anna Mele & Antonio Anna Mele | TEDxPolicoro
I gemelli ci conducono in un viaggio ai confini con l’impossibile, là dove l’evoluzione tecnologica spinge oltre i limiti. La tecnologia ha già trasformato ciò che un tempo sembrava irraggiungibile.
Eppure ci sono ancora sfide cruciali per l’umanità che i computer e l’intelligenza artificiale attuali non riescono a superare, o meglio, potrebbero farlo, ma impiegherebbero tempi inimmaginabili.
Per questo i fisici hanno inventato una nuova macchina: il computer quantistico.
Esso sfrutta le regole della meccanica quantistica per accelerare i calcoli, proprietà che per un essere umano appaiono così controintuitive da sembrare impossibili. Francesco Anna Mele è nato il 22 agosto 1997 ad Acquaviva delle Fonti (BA) e ha vissuto a Policoro (MT) fino al 2016. La passione per la Fisica nasce durante l’ultimo anno del liceo, grazie ai problemi “puzzling” proposti alle Olimpiadi Italiane della Fisica, in cui ottiene una medaglia di bronzo nella fase nazionale.Nel 2016 si iscrive al corso di Laurea Triennale in Fisica presso l’Università di Catania e vince l’ammissione alla Scuola Superiore di Catania. L’anno successivo si trasferisce all’Università di Pisa, dove consegue la laurea nel 2019. Nello stesso anno inizia la Laurea Magistrale in Fisica Teorica all’Università di Pisa e vince l’ammissione alla Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa come studente ordinario in Fisica.Nel 2021 ottiene la laurea magistrale e il diploma di licenza della Scuola Normale, e inizia il Dottorato in Fisica presso la stessa istituzione. Durante il dottorato, alterna periodi di ricerca a Pisa con soggiorni internazionali in diverse città: nel 2023 a Berlino, nel 2024 ad Amsterdam e nel 2025 a Los Angeles.La sua ricerca si concentra sull’informazione quantistica, ed ha un obiettivo chiaro: sfruttare la fisica quantistica per potenziare ed innovare la tecnologia odierna.Antonio Anna Mele è nato il 22 Agosto 1997 ad Acquaviva delle Fonti (BA) e ha vissuto a Policoro fino al 2016. Dopo la laurea in Fisica a Pisa e un doppio master tra l’Università di Trento e la SISSA di Trieste, è approdato a Berlino per il dottorato.Durante il suo percorso ha lavorato anche al Los Alamos National Laboratory, negli Stati Uniti, ed ha presentato le sue ricerche in numerose conferenze internazionali. È ricercatore in informatica quantistica alla Freie Universität di Berlino. Si occupa dello sviluppo di algoritmi quantistici, con un focus su Machine Learning e Tomografia: progetta algoritmi per ricostruire, apprendere e caratterizzare sistemi quantistici a partire da ciò che si può misurare in laboratorio.Il suo obiettivo è esplorare e spingere al limite le potenzialità reali dei computer quantistici.

- 8:07How solving my problem, served many | Dr. Erica Littleton | TEDxKelly Ingram ParkIn “Solving My Problem Served Many,” Dr. Erica Jewel Littleton shares how one teacher’s frustration became the foundation for transformation in education. What began as a personal solution—a way to earn needed professional learning credits—grew into something bigger. Dr. Littleton challenges the notion that teachers are “just teachers,” showing instead how they are innovators, builders, and changemakers shaping the future of learning. Her message is clear: when educators use their creativity to solve real problems, they don’t leave education—they lead it forward. Dr. Erica Jewel Littleton is a serial edupreneur, leadership strategist, and proud graduate of Birmingham City Schools. With 20 years in education, she has served as a teacher, turnaround specialist, and founder of Learning Little People. Her TEDx talk draws from her doctoral research, The Urban Pedagogue to Principal Pipeline, and her mission to elevate educators as system-builders. She is also the creator of The Edupreneurship Academy and co-creator of The Dream Builder Experience. Dr. Erica Jewel is a member of the Leadership Birmingham Class of 2026.

- 10:36Courage Over Perfection: The Magic Trick That Went Wrong | Zhanqing Lu | TEDxNSFZ YouthStepping out of her comfort zone to run for student council, Zhanqing Lu discovered that the journey of courage matters more than a flawless result. With her lively spirit and fearless attitude, she stands by one belief: being brave is cooler than being perfect. In this talk, she shares how taking bold steps can redefine confidence and self-worth. I am Lu Zhanqing. My name and "Tsinghua University" draw inspiration from the same ancient verse: "The waters are limpid and the woods are splendidly clear." It was perhaps my mother's dream for me to tread the path to prestigious universities and conventional success. But I've always heard a different calling. You'll more likely find me immersed in various "non-academic" pursuits than confined to textbooks. I ran for Student Council. Did I win? No. But I firmly believe that one doesn't have to be perfect to be brave. I choose courage—the courage to be authentically and entirely myself.

- 9:18Yunnan Teaching Outreach: The Promise We Made in the Mountains | Ruier Ma | TEDxNSFZ YouthIn this heartfelt talk, IB student Ruier Ma reflects on a transformative journey to Ciying Town, a remote village in Yunnan, China. Through volunteer teaching, introducing 3D printing, and connecting with children living with limited resources, Ruier explores the challenges these children face and the lessons they teach about resilience, curiosity, and hope. Hello everyone! My name is Marui Ma, a DP2 student at NSFZ. I'm fascinated by anything that combines speed, strategy, and teamwork—whether it's on the football pitch, in the Formula 1 paddock, or down the ski slopes. At school, I'm not only an engineering enthusiast but also an active member and key contributor to our FTC robotics team. Building robots is, for me, another powerful way to turn ideas into motion. I hope to eventually bring 3D printing technology to remote mountain villages, using it to show children there a glimpse of the wider world.
