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.

- 9:45How to Become Someone You’re Proud Of | Tom Kelly | TEDxColumbianaThis TED talk challenges the conventional idea of legacy as something that exists only after you're gone. Instead, it redefines legacy as a living, breathing impact you create every day.

It highlights that waiting to be remembered is a mistake -true legacy is about becoming the person you are proud of while you're still alive.

- 11:53Theodore Roosevelt & the Secret Power of Sisters | Ed O'Keefe | TEDxFargoIn his recent book, The Loves of Theodore Roosevelt: The Women Who Created a President, Edward F. O’Keefe contends that perhaps the most masculine president in the American memory is actually the product of unsung and extraordinary women. O’Keefe, who serves as the CEO of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Foundation, reintroduces five women lost to history who were critical to TR’s success: his mother, two sisters, and two wives. In his TEDx Fargo talk, O’Keefe focuses on Bamie and Conie, respectively TR’s elder and younger sister. One, according to her contemporaries, could have been president were she born a man. The other was essentially TR’s co-governor of New York State — yet neither is broadly known today. Come to hear about Theodore Roosevelt and the secret power of sisters — and think about how the thread of family, those who have picked you up and pushed you forward, have changed the trajectory of your life. Edward F. O’Keefe was born and raised in Grand Forks, North Dakota (go Rough Riders!) He is currently the CEO of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Foundation. Previously, he spent two decades in broadcast and digital media at ABC News, CNN, and NowThis, during which time he received a Primetime Emmy Award for his work with Anthony Bourdain, two Webby Awards, the Edward R. Murrow Award, and a George Foster Peabody Award for ABC’s coverage of 9/11. A former fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School, he graduated with honors from Georgetown University.
