Simone Severini is an Italian-born British computer scientist, Professor of Physics of Information at University College London, and Director of Quantum Computing at Amazon Web Services AWS.

He works in quantum information science and complex systems. Together with Adan Cabello and Andreas Winter, he defined a graph-theoretic framework for studying quantum contextuality, and together with Tomasz Konopka, Fotini Markopoulou, and Lee Smolin, he introduced a random graph model of spacetime called quantum graphity.[2][3]

Severini is an editor of Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A.

gollark: Non-manual memory management also makes it easier to reason about code and not put `free`s everywhere.

gollark: Zig, but it's veeeery alpha.

gollark: Nim? Rust?

gollark: Even if we do end up actually switching stuff over to them in the next N years, there will be *so many* devices which don't get updated.

gollark: While there are quantum-cryptography-proof cryptographic schemes around, they're barely in the early stages of being standardized, not really deployed in any common protocols yet, not reviewed as thoroughly as existing primitives, and generally not very production-ready.
