Celsius-Linnaeus
Lecture – Celsius Symposium 2010 – Quantum Day, Uppsala,
Sweden.
The Symposium is held in connection with the
Celsius-Linnaeus lecture to inform the Nobel Committee and a
broad audience of scientists and students on new interesting
topics emerging in Physics (organized every 3 years for
physics).
In the Symposium I gave an invited talk about
Electromagnetic vorticities and their applications in Astronomy
and quantum aspects. The other two honourable invited speakers
were Prof. Anton Zeilinger and Sir Prof. Michael Berry.
Prof.
Anton Zeilinger was the main Celsius Lecturer for his Nobel
Candidature.

More
than one thousand of citations in the local Italian press and in
internet blogs. It is enough to put “fusilli di luce” or
“fotoni ubriachi” (drunk photons) which is the way we call in
Italy OAM states of light on Google and obtain more than a
thousand of citations.

Among
the numerous invited talks and seminars we recall the most
important in this sector:
• Invited
talk at LOIS symposium, Vajxo, Sweden and collaboration for
LOIS-LOFAR antennas on Orbital Angular Momentum of Light. Ref.
Prof. Bo Thidé, Uppsala University, Sweden.
• Invited
Talks, interviews and collaboration on Orbital Angular Momentum
of Light in Uppsala University, with the financial support of the
Nobel Foundation.
• Invitation
to the Celsius-Linnaeus Lecture 2010, Uppsala, Sweden, with
invited talk to the Celsius symposium about the foundations of
Quantum Mechanics with Anton Zeilinger and Sir Michael Berry.
• Independent
thinking and leadership qualities:
Thanks
to the training gained from participation in several projects and
working groups already cited above, I have developed a good level
of leadership skills. This is clearly shown both my publication
record, press interviews, where in most cases I was the proposer
and coordinator of the research.
Very
often my research activities opened new fields of investigation,
like the detection of gravitational waves with quantum
entanglement, or opening new pioneering research fields, like
Astronomy at the quantum limit and OAM states in Astronomy. Often
most of the ideas of the proposer could not have been completely
realized because of the paucity of funding that characterizes the
dramatic situation of the research in our Country. Besides that,
most of the quoted researches beneficed from international
collaborations, that were coordinated also by the applicant.
Independent
thinking and leadership qualities of the researcher are also
confirmed both by the invitation to lecture at the 2010 Celsius
Symposium in Uppsala, Sweden and by the international press
recognitions of the innovative ideas in Physics and Astronomy.
