Andrea Bertoni

Short Bio

Andrea Bertoni is Research Scientist at Istituto Nanoscienze of CNR in Modena since 2003. He received his PhD in physics in 2001 from the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. He has been visiting scientist at IBM Watson Research Center (NY, USA) and research lecturer at FIM department of University of Modena and Reggio Emilia.  He co-authored about 100 articles in international journals, receiving ~1600 citations. He is an expert in high-performance computing, he has been principal investigator of several HPC projects and he has taught parallel computing, computational physics and quantum information processing courses since 2006.

Research Interests

His research activity is focused on the modelling of electronic states in low-dimensional structures and quantum transport of carriers in semiconductor nanodevices, with emphasis on correlation effects.

In particular, his research interests include:

- time-dependent modelling of single- and two-electron states in quantum Hall edge channels for quantum computing architectures based on hot-electron interferometry;

- dynamics of indirect excitons in semiconductor nanostructures;

- self-consistent simulation of carrier states in semiconductor nanowires assessing photoluminescence spectra, magnetotransport characteristics and the role of spin-orbit interaction;

- simulation of silicon and germanium electron/hole-spin qubits based on nanoscale multi-gate MOSFETs in ultimately-scaled state-of-the-art FDSOI CMOS technology.
