# Lorenzo Petricone
Fullstack developer at codecentric examining the mechanics and reality of quantum computing.

## About

Lorenzo Petricone builds software across the stack at codecentric, primarily working with TypeScript, Angular, and Kotlin. He pays close attention to where tech is heading, actively tracking shifts in large language models and emerging hardware paradigms.

Right now, his main focus is separating the hype from the reality of quantum computing. He breaks down how superposition and entanglement actually work, looking at how quantum systems will solve complex optimization problems. Rather than viewing quantum algorithms as a magic bullet, he explores what big tech is building, how developers can prepare, and whether China is genuinely running quantum encryption in space.
