Italian Quantum Weeks

[Infopoint]

*World Quantum Day* <https://worldquantumday.org/> will be observed 
around the world for the first time this year on 14 April, as a way to 
bring everything "/quantum/" closer to the public and celebrate this 
fascinating field of study. In this context, the Italian Quantum Weeks 
<https://www.quantumweeks.it/> are an initiative promoted by Italian 
scientists, communicators and educators on the occasion of the first 
World Quantum Day, with the aim of raising awareness of the quantum 
world and the opportunities that the quantum revolution can bring.

*"Italian Quantum Weeks @ Trieste"* 
<https://www.quantumweeks.it/trieste/> is the initiative organised by 
scientists and communicators of the so-called "Trieste science system" 
to take part in the quantum celebrations, with a rich programme of 
events for the general public and school students. Many ICTP scientists 
will be involved in public talks, panels and outreach activities. These 
activities include:

- 4 April, 9am: *"Cos'è un computer quantistico? Lo chiediamo allo 
scienziato"* ("What is a quantum computer? Let's ask a scientist") is an 
event organised jointly by ICTP and Trieste's Science Centre Immaginario 
Scientifico <https://www.immaginarioscientifico.it/eng-page>. ICTP 
scientist Antonello Scardicchio will be interviewed by physics students, 
discussing quantum computers, the science behind them and future 
developments of the field. The event is dedicated to schools, but it 
could be followed by everyone on ICTP's YouTube channel 
<https://youtu.be/J2T21WWcchA>. The event is in Italian.

- 5 April, 7pm: a public talk titled *"Computer quantistici e calcoli 
complicati"* ("Quantum computers and complicated calculations") will be 
held in Trieste's Bar Libreria Knulp, involving ICTP's PhD student 
Federico Balducci and postdoctoral fellow Giuliano Chiriacò. (In Italian)

- 12 April, 7pm: a public talk titled *"Computer e società 
quantistiche"* ("Quantum computers and societies") will be held in 
Trieste's Bar Libreria Knulp, involving ICTP scientists Alejandro 
Rodriguez, Marcello Dalmonte, and Antonello Scardicchio. (In Italian)

- 14 April, 6pm: a public talk titled *"Materia quantistica del futuro"* 
("Quantum matter of the future") will be held in Trieste's Caffé San 
Marco, involving ICTP scientists Nicola Seriani and Rosario Fazio. (In
