Biography
Giuseppe Carleo is a computational quantum physicist, whose main focus is the development of advanced numerical algorithms tostudy challenging problems involving strongly interacting quantum systems.
He is best known for the introduction of machine learning techniques to study both equilibrium and dynamical properties,
based on a neural-network representations of quantum states, as well for the time-dependent variational Monte Carlo method.
He earned a Ph.D. in Condensed Matter Theory from the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) in Italy in 2011.
He held postdoctoral positions at the Institut d’Optique in France and ETH Zurich in Switzerland, where he also
served as a lecturer in computational quantum physics.
In 2018, he joined the Flatiron Institute in New York City in 2018 at the Center for Computational Quantum Physics (CCQ), working as a Research Scientist and project leader, and also leading the development of the open-source project NetKet.
Since September 2020 he is an assistant professor at EPFL, in Switzerland, leading the Computational Quantum Science Laboratory (CQSL).

Quantum physics I
The objective of this course is to familiarize the student with the concepts, methods and consequences of quantum physics.
Computational quantum physics
The numerical simulation of quantum systems plays a central role in modern physics. This course gives an introduction to key simulation approaches,
through lectures and practical programming exercises. Simulation methods based both on
classical and quantum computers will be presented.
Lecture series on scientific machine learning
This lecture presents ongoing work on how scientific questions can be tackled using machine learning. Machine learning enables extracting knowledge from data computationally and in an automatized way. We will learn on examples how this is influencing the very scientific method.
Introduction to quantum science and technology
This course provides all students with a broad view of the diverse aspects of the field: quantum physics, communication, computation, simulation, quantum hardware technologies, quantum sensing and metrology. The course will be an overview of frontiers of the domain and taught by multiple instructors
