Principal Research Scientist, Quantum-centric Supercomputing and Applied Quantum Science
Antonio Mezzacapo

Bio

I am currently a Principal Research Scientist at IBM Quantum, leading IBM Quantum’s efforts around quantum-centric supercomputing and the applied quantum sciences. One of my areas of interest is quantum simulations of chemistry and materials science, where I contributed with advancements on quantum algorithms for computing molecular energies, more efficient encodings for fermionic simulations, and experiments that have pushed the frontier of quantum simulations with quantum processors. I am interested in understanding how quantum computers can be optimally coupled with classical high-performance computers, and what are the best algorithms and workflows for quantum-centric supercomputing architectures. More broadly, I am interested in how one can use quantum computers to deliver value in quantum-classical computational workflows. In the past, I have worked on the characterization of superconducting quantum processors, modeling of quantum gates, and quantum software, with some foundational contributions to the Qiskit software stack.
