SUMMARY:ICFO | PAOLO PINTUS
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nIntegrated photonics is a promising technology that 
 surpasses integrated electronics in both bandwidth and energy consumption.
  While photonic integrated circuits (PICs) have primarily been developed f
 or optical communications\, their potential is increasingly attracting int
 erest from a wider range of applications\, including emerging cryogenic cl
 assical and quantum computing systems. In this presentation\, I will discu
 ss the latest advancements in cryogenic PICs\, specifically in relation to
  their use for interfacing with computing systems operating at low tempera
 tures\, such as single-flux-quantum logic circuits and superconducting qub
 its. Developing energy-efficient PICs that operate at low temperatures can
  enable scalable\, low-cost\, and power-efficient optical interconnections
  for achieving large data transfer rates while avoiding significant hardwa
 re complexity and heat load. When combined with the use of optical fibers 
 to connect different temperature stages\, cryogenic PICs can effectively i
 nterface with superconducting technologies\, making them more accessible a
 nd opening a promising path towards scaling up classical and quantum cryog
 enic processors.\nBiography:\nPaolo Pintus is an Assistant Professor at th
 e Physics Department of the University of Cagliari\, Italy\, and a Project
  Scientist at the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of the Un
 iversity of California Santa Barbara\, USA. He received his M.Sc. in Elect
 ronic Engineering with honors from the University of Cagliari in 2007\, an
 d his Ph.D. in Telecommunication Engineering with honors from the Scuola S
 uperiore Sant'Anna in Pisa\, Italy\, in 2012.\nAfter graduating\, Dr. Pint
 us worked as a Research Fellow with the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna from 20
 12 to 2016\, and as an Associate Project Scientist at the University of Ca
 lifornia Santa Barbara from 2016 to 2022. He is a member of the review boa
 rd for Nature\, Optica\, IEEE\, and AIP publishing groups\, and he serves 
 on the technical program committees for several conferences\, including th
 e Optica Integrated Photonics Research Meeting (IPR)\, Photonics in Switch
 ing and Computing Conference\, IEEE Si Photonics Conference (formerly GFP)
 \, and IEEE Photonic Society Summer Topicals. Dr. Pintus has co-authored o
 ver 100 scientific journals and conference papers\, and has filed seven in
 ternational patents.\nDr. Pintus has received several awards\, including t
 he European Anile-ECMI Prize for Mathematics in Industry\, and he was a re
 cipient of the Million Dollar International Quantum U Tech Accelerator. He
  is a Senior member of the IEEE Society\, the IEEE Photonic Society\, and 
 a member of the Italian Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SI
 MAI). His research interests center around integrated optics\, silicon pho
 tonics\, and computational electromagnetics.
