Tomassoni Chisesi Prize

Since 2013, the awards were unified into a single premium. A prize titled "Caterina Tomassoni and Felice Pietro Chisesi Prize" is presented each year on April, at Sapienza University of Rome. The prize consists of Euro 40,000, of an allowance for travel to the awarding ceremony, and of a certificate citing the contributions made by the recipient.

13 September 2018: Fondazione Sapienza - Tomassoni Chisesi Physics Prize
Winner over 40 category:
Prof. Philip Kim (presentation)
Harvard University, USA
For his pioneering experiments on quantum transport in carbon nanotubes and graphene which opened new perspectives in the study of physical properties of materials at the nanoscale. Philip Kim is a world leading scientist in the research on nanoscale materials, 2D single layers, van der Walls heterostructures and low dimensional architectures and provided the groundbreaking observation of the quantum Hall effect in single layer graphene, contemporary to the results obtained by the 2010 Nobel prize winners A. Geim and K. Novoselov.
Winner under 40 category:
Prof. Scott Aaronson (presentation)
University of Texas – Austin- USA
For his strong contribution to define the fundamental limits of quantum computation with a number of pioneering works at the frontier of computational complexity and quantum mechanics.
