A desktop-sized, 3D-printed Mach-Zehnder interferometer demonstrating wave interference. Fringe intensity is acquired via OPT101 photodiodes and a Siglent SDS824XHD oscilloscope, with the phase shift induced thermally via a Kapton heater.
A benchmarking framework designed to compare quantum data-encoding strategies for QSVM kernels against a classical RBF-kernel SVM baseline, across datasets of varying geometry, using several dedicated metrics alongside standard accuracy.
A 3D-printed experimental setup demonstrating diffraction in the "single-photon" regime, using an attenuated laser and photographic film as a low-cost "single-photon" detector to record the pattern.
Provide continuous academic support for high school and university students. Develop personalized teaching methodologies and preparation strategies for national exams and university-level courses. Collaborated with Centro Yep! (Lucca, 2020 – 2023) and continued with private tutoring.
