From Quantum Fields to Spin Glasses Seminal Contributions of Giorgio Parisi to Theoretical Physics

Maria Chiara Angelini is a researcher at the Sapienza University of Rome, and her work is focused on statistical physics, disordered systems, optimization and inference problems. She has written two popular science books (published in Italian): MatematicaMente (Gribaudo, 2023) and Giorgio Parisi – La fisica che domina il caos, dal clima alle neuroscienze (La Repubblica – Le Scienze, 2024).

Marco Bonvini is a theoretical physicist at INFN Rome. His research focuses on quantum chromodynamics and Higgs physics, with seminal contributions on parton distributions, resummation, and the quantification of theoretical uncertainties using Bayesian inference.

Giacomo Gradenigo is Associate Professor of Theoretical Physics at the Department of Physics and Astronomy of Padova. His research ranges from problems in the statistical mechanics of disordered systems to functional non-perturbative approaches in quantum field theory and quantum mechanics.

Enzo Marinari is Professor of Physics at the Sapienza University of Rome. His main research focus is the statistical physics of disordered systems.

Antonio Davide Polosa is Professor of Physics at the Sapienza University of Rome. His research is on hadron collider physics, exotic hadrons phenomenology, particularly tetraquarks and pentaquarks, and direct dark matter detection with condensed matter targets.

Federico Ricci-Tersenghi is Professor of Theoretical Physics at the Sapienza University of Rome. His primary field of research is the statistical physics of disordered systems, with key applications in the study of high-dimensional optimization and inference problems, as well as machine learning.
