TEACHING @physics
QUANTUM INFORMATION
This is a course for MS students that I teach, together with Prof. Filippo Caruso, since AA 2017/18 at the Physics and Astronomy Department in Florence. Prerequisites are those guaranteed by either a theoretical or an experimental BS in Physics. However, the course have been attended also by students with a BS in Engineering Science and by some PhD students in Physics and Chemistry.

QUANTUM TO CLASSICAL CROSSOVER: BEAUTY AND ROLE OF GENERALIZED COHERENT STATES
This is a course for PhD students that I started teaching this year (2019). It is somehow an experiment, aimed at introducing a formal language for developing a dialogue between the open quantum systems/quantum-information community, and the quantum field theory/AdS-Cft one. Six lessons of a couple of hours are just a drop in the ocean, and yet a drop can help. Although with some hick-ups in the organization, I believe this first attempt worked quite well, and will probably repropose the course to next-year PhD students (may be with a few tweaks),
OPEN QUANTUM SYSTEMS: FROM ENTANGLEMENT TO QUANTUM CRYPTOGRAPHY
This is a course for PhD students that I have taught, with great satisfaction, for 10 years (from 2006) at the Physics and Astronomy Department in Florence. Prerequisites were modest and lectures have been attended, during the ten years, by students with very diverse backgrounds. Which resulted in quite a lot of fun (at least for myself).

Sometimes I give lectures during the course on Quantum Mechanics for undergraduate students in Physics and Astronomy, to let them get acquainted with entanglement, teleportation, quantum computation and similar topics. |
